Thank you Barbara and Richard for your very helpful information. I actually have a subscription to "The Genealogist" web site and hadn't got around to searching their 'Non Conformist' records, so was able to view the 3 entries...and they did have private baptisms....interesting to view the actual register. If anyone on list would like me to check this record source for their ancestors let me know and I'll see what I can find. But be quick as I only have about another month to go on my subscription....can't afford another year at this time. There are also general Parish Registers available but again seem quite patchy....happy to check these as well. And by the way Richard....I'm researching Tomson (various spellings) Wellard Fox, Peake/Peeke and Spencer....my hubby would be very upset to hear that his family is now residing in Thanet when they are all Irish :) Cheers, Kate Cunningham Wellington NZ
