Hi folks, A few weeks ago I posted an e-mail with regards to my Samuel Mead and had quite a few responses back which I thank you for. I have ordered in a film for Brentwood where he was suppose to be from but discovered he was not on the said film. Then I discovered that South Weald also recorded some births/baptism for Brentwood, however when I went to order in a film for a Congregational Church in the said Parish/es the film turns out to be restricted. So I then contacted the Essex County Record Office and they weren’t able to help me too much. A suggestion was made that maybe Kew might hold non-conformist records for Essex. Can someone please enlighten me if this is so. I need to some how get a look at the said baptism for Samuel in 1810 on a non-conformist list. Any other suggestions in finding this elusive ancestor will be greatly appreciated. Regards Sharon Kirby Rockhampton, Qld, Australia

http://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/moreinfo.php#nonconformist has a large number of non-conformist records - unfortunately, you have to be a subscriber even to search but ISTR they once gave me a trial sub for two weeks when I emailed them to say I was not going to subscribe until I knew that there were records there that I wanted.

thegenealogist's sister site - www.bmdregisters.co.uk - has digitised the records from Kew/The National Archives, and many of them are on the IGI. It is free to search but you have to pay for advanced searches and to download the records. There was a Samuel Mead born/baptised in 1804 in Essex (IGI gives Abbess Roding as place and Thomas Mead as father) but not in 1810.
