Hello again Karen, Go into the IGI Family Search site, enter in Robert BELCHER's details and search. When his info comes up,click on his name and when his info page comes up click on the Batch No C027981 on the left hand side. This brings up another search page purely for this batch no recorded by the IGI. Enter BELCHER into the Last Name field and his father's name (in this case Robert) and his mother's name (Ann) and click on search. This will bring up all the BELCHER children baptised with father's name Robert and mother's name Ann. If you want to find any BELCHERs baptised at Duntisbourne, just put in the surname BELCHER and search on that. Another way of looking for specific surname extracted baptisms at a specific parish is to search on Hugh Wallis's IGI site (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle) but not all the extracted baptisms on the IGI site have been transferred to Hugh Wallis's site so you really need to search both. From the baptisms of Robert & Ann's children, you should be able to correlate some of the burials I gave you. HTH further Janet > Sorry to bother you again Janet.
