Dear Kerry. "I therefore am unsure as to the various areas around the county of SURREY as far as registration of births, etc. for example, if a person was born in Egham at a certain period in time, would they have been baptized in Richmond or somewhere else?" If you look on the web site of West Surrey FHS you will be able to print off a copy of the Surrey map showing the different parishes in Surrey. www.wsfhs.org Both Egham & Epsom are in quite different areas in Surrey. All depending on what time span you are looking at you may need to purchase certificates of birth first. Both Egham & Epsom have their own churches, so baptisms could have taken place in those parishes. Best of luck with your research. Joyce
