You won't get a birth record at that date, only baptismal. Are you referring to Stoke sub Hamdon? If so, yes, the registers are held at Taunton. You have various options: you could check the online catalogue on www.familysearch.org to see (a) where your nearest LDS FHC is and (b) the film number so that you can hire it and check for yourself. You could employ an independent researcher to search for you for a fee. You could make use of the record office's own research service, for a fee. You could use it as an excuse for a holiday! <G> If you're very lucky, you might find a list member who's going to be visiting to do some of their own research and who'd be willing to take a few minutes out to do a look up for you. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
