Hi Barbara Sebina's birth (not baptism) was registered in the fourth quarter of 1845 in the Godstone RD as "Sabina Mary COWDRY". Using the reference from FreeBMD you can purchase her birth certificate directly from www.gro.gov.uk (do not be lured into buying it any other way - it will cost a lot more and take a lot longer). The family is quite easy to identify from the census, though in 1851 the entry contains some errors (possibly through the enumerator misreading the original form) and William's wife appears as "Rebecca" and Sebina/Sabina as "Letitta". From later censuses and a likely marriage, William's wife (and presumably Sebina's mother) was Ulrica Eleanora (nee CLAYTON). I can send you the image of this marriage if you like. Baptisms may well be hard to find for this family, as William appears to have been, or at least become, a Baptist minister and Baptists do not practice infant baptism. But civil birth registration certificates provide better information than most baptism registers anyway. You may find it worthwhile to contact the Baptist Historical Society (www.baptisthistory.org.uk) for information about William.
