How can I check for baptism records? I can't find any on line for Cley.

And how do I go about looking for military records? - I've never ventured there...

This is a great idea btw - I had got back to the point of not knowing where to carry on...
I won't be buying 5 certs for each GG but at least that's 5 more to the collection of 'facts'.

Well, I went to the church and Miss Sprott unlocked the vestry for us

What's online is too early for you - but did you see the link I put on your other thread for wills & admons?

ooo Lucky you Phoenix...

I think I'll have to wait for retirement to visit Norfolk...(I'm 45 and at the rate things are going, that will be another 30 years away)

Thanks for the other link
