Hi Chris Roll Eyes

The Belchamp parish registers of St Pauls church are held at Essex Record Office the following link takes you to the Essex Record office webpage

http://www.essexcc.gov.uk/vip8/ecc/ECCWebsite/dis/gui.jsp?channelOid=13813&guideOid=14788

The website explains what you need to do to visit the record office.  There is another link on their webpage "parish registers" which when you click takes you to another page where you can search alphabeticly all the parish registers that they hold. Cheesy

If it is to far for you to travel to the Essex Record Office - you may be down under !! Cool

You can go to a family history center  - look on this webpage to find a family history center near to your home www.familysearch.org  go to the middle of the page and click "advanced search" next page enter your home town or nearest big city, your country and it will bring up a list of centeres.

You will need to visit the family history center during the opening hours (these vary considerably) and order the parish register you require. You will then be able to go back when the register arrives and view the register at the center, you may also be able to make photocopies of the entries you want about your ancestors.
