Non con-formist records are held at East Sussex Record Office in Lewes. I had a quick look at their short guid to holdigns but it doesn't give details fo which records or time periods butt hey would be your first stop. The IGI has many earlier ecords and BMD Registers website has those held by National Archives but a search of their site didn't show any results - they might not have 20C records though. Sorry this isn't a more definite answer but hope it helps a bit Helen 4583 On Wed, 5 Mar 2008 05:56:48 +0000 (GMT), "Sonia McConville" <soniamcconville@yahoo.co.uk> said: > Hi all, > > I am trying to find out whether my father's > christening is listed anywhere.
