Could someone find the baptism of James Hills, born 13 July 1881 in Hackney, baptised 7 Aug 1881 in Shoreditch St Leonard and let me know who the parents were, and any other information please?

I would also like details of the baptism of William Hills, born Q1 1884 in Hackney. He might have been baptised in Shoreditch St Leonard too.



Not sure if your are aware but GRO indexes give mmn, you just have to sign up which is free https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

These appear to be James & Williams birth entry

HILLS, WILLIAM   mmn    FRIAR

There are also these baptism parents same name

Albert Edward Hills born 5 Mar 1878   31 Mar 1878   Shoreditch St Leonard
