However, I think it extremely unlikely that they still have registers from the 1790s which according to the NIPR are at Kew. I am simply curious as to why any of my ancestors, albeit colateral ones, had their children baptised as Catholics when there is no evidence whatsoever that any of my family were ever Catholics (before 1533, that is, when everybody were Catholics). -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
