The county record office in the county you are looking. Look on genuki for addresses www(.)genuki(.)co(.)uk remove brackets Or try your local LDS centre Margaret

How do I find which Church records I need to look under? most of the births are showing as Warwick, apart from one which is London.

Th first thing to do is check the IGI entry is correct by cross checking with the church record. This will be available at the relevent County record office. This will also give further detail to the bare information on the IGI. Note that the IGI can have errors, eg. the birth date given can often be the baptism date. Bob

I think I have just found some entries on IGI of my relations, my ggg grandad was called Benjamin Timms who was born 1825 and he married a Sarah who was born in 1826. I know they had 2 children - Mary Jane born 1860 and my gg grandad John Timms who was born 10/3/1864. I did a search and found under Batch number 0970031, sheet 00 four children with the same parents, but no record of the two that I know about. I dont know if to take it theyre my gg Grandads siblings, and if they are how to double check this info.
