    3. Do you really need Baptism Certificates? If so, the contact details for all English Anglican churches can be found on the web. Go to http://www.acny.org.uk, enter Henfield in the Search Box and you will find all the details that you need to make contact. However, Baptism Certificates are really expensive - I think that they are about £10 each and if you can't give the exact date of baptism and the vicar has to make a search of the registers, it will cost more. So, for family history purposes, I think most people are happy to make a search of the filmed Baptism Registers and simply make a note of the date and other details, or obtain a photocopy for a small fee if it is a particulrly important entry. The Henfield Baptism Registers have been deposited up to 1897 at the West Sussex Record Office in Chichester and you could send them an E-mail and ask them to quote for photocopying and posting the entries that you need. Alternatively, I think that the Henfield registers are on the IGI up to around 1875, so you could order the film at your local LDS Family History Centre. Either way, it would probably be a much cheaper option for you. Best wishes Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex
