Wondering if someone who has access to the Sussex Baptism Index could look up a birthdate for me...William Ernest Henderson was baptized either 25 Feb 1872 or 25 Apr 1872 to parents George HENDERSON and Sarah PARKS in Seaford, Sussex, England. I am much appreciative! Best Wishes, Rachel 11988

Rachel, The baptismal index, described at http://www.sfhg.org.uk/baptisms.html, has very little for Seaford. In most parishes any records are pre-1840. However, the library has a copy of the parish register http://www.sfhg.org.uk/philcat1S.html which may help, and there's a search request form at http://www.sfhg.org.uk/librarysearch.html. I see Willie Ernest's birth was registered in 2Q1872 which perhaps makes the later date the more probable.

Hello Rachel, I have looked up the baptism of William Ernest Henderson in Seaford, but he was not baptised on either of the dates you mention. Also it appears he was baptised "Willie Ernest", Full entry as follows: Henderson, Willie Ernest, Parents: George/Sarah Male Date: 30 June 1872 Is it possible that one of the dates you mention is the date of birth?
