General questions. The first, do the local churches record the baptism and weddings they perform. I ask as if a child was born between census and there is a marriage cert which list a church in which the parents were united in matrimony it is highly probable that any children born from this union will be baptized in that church. Learning of children whom were baptized between census years might also identify those children whom died during childhood. When a serviceman is killed in action, does the government issue a death cert? If so, will the serviceman's local Registration District have a record of this death? Also, during WW I, did the local Halifax papers print an obit when a local boy was KIA? Prior to his enlistment in August 1917, a possible twig on my tree worked for a firm by the name of Clay & Co. Anyone know of this firm? Thanks. Richard
