Hi Guys, I have managed to partly answer my own question, viz. “Does anyone know the validity of the England & Wales Christening Index as given by Ancestry”, in that it is actually the LDS VRI second edition, sad to say it was there on the screen all the time, derr. The particular reference I was concern with, appears to be extracted from the Suffolk BT and from the Orford region, so at the end of the day I will give it a ‘certain’' factor of 2 out of 3, uhhhm. Regards Tony Anthony John MINGAY, now in NZ once of Kent & Suffolk, England but still researching Worldwide the surname MINGAY & its variants. http://www.mingayhistory.co.uk.
