Hi Kate About the other bit of your question, yes the actual registers that survive for Ebeneezer Ramsgate are at PRO at Kew, England & are what are digitised. Film copies of them are available from LDS Family History Centres - I don't know cost in New Zealand but in Australia its $5. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlefilmnotes&columns=*%2C0%2C0&titleno=34253&disp=Baptisms+and+burials%2C+1695-1837++ will show you film numbers ie either FHL 597066 Items 1-5 or FHL 1482365 Items 4-7 should do. There is a Family History Centre in Wellington according to http://www.thecommunityarchive.org.nz/node/78059 Someone there would explian how to order the films then you can see the records yourself and is far more cost effective than internet images when you have several persons in the same set of records. Someone there might also be able to help with some of your Batch number questions. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=topicdetails&subject=411973&subject_disp=England%2C+Kent%2C+Ramsgate+-+Church+records&columns=*,0,0 gives the list of records catalogued under Ramsgate. You would also be able to order the St Lawrence parish ie anglican records there on film. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=topicdetails&subject=535987&subject_disp=England%2C+Kent%2C+St.+Lawrence+-+Church+records&columns=*,0,0 Certainly before 1837 marriages were only allowed in Anglican church. Many of my family who are recorded as baptisms in Ebeneezer are recorded as marriages & burials in St Lawrence (anglican) registers or the adjoining parish of St Peters (anglican) registers. all the best Barbara Callcott ________________________________ Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:39:52 +1200 (New Zealand Standard Time) From: "Kate Cunningham" <[email protected]> Subject: [Isle-of-Thanet] LDS member submitted information and Life Boats and Ebenezer Independant Ramsgate 3.
