Wow!! Thank you everyone for your quick and informative replies.
 
Didn't realize you could use the baptism date for a birth certificate and it really helps if you know your
districts. Happy now and have ordered certificate. I have also found her sister Mary (unfortunately not brother Richard) with same Mum.  Was so scared I wouldn't follow the correct line.

Just one more question if I may. How do you prove ancestors prior to 1837 when there are no birth certificates and census. Do you need to go and check microfilms.

Once again many thanks

Parish registers and Wills can help you track back before 1837; just remember not everyone stayed in the same area!
