Title: Baptism in India help please
Post by: ladybird on Thursday 07 June 18 21:32 BST (UK)
I used to do Family History but gave up my subs years ago. Recently my niece has become interested in her fathers side of the family and I've been trying to help.
I have found this entry on findmypast

Sanders  John Aubrey  1940  —  1940  Parish Baptisms  Madras,Christ Church, Madras 

Can anyone help please, could really do with the parent details if any
many thanks Sylvia

Hi,

On FindMyPast there are no more details on that baptism than you already have, other than father's name is Sanders  ???

A note on FindMyPast advises that no images and few details are available for post 1915 births and full details are available by visiting the British Library.

Two thoughts; contact the library and enquire about a look up (you have the basic information) or a new post here asking if anyone visits the library and could do a look up for you.

Good Luck!

 Try Google  for  The Salvation Army India.
                        `5/81 Ritherdon Rd Vepery Chennai Tamil Nadu. India.
They do have contact details.
May know where the original Christ Church Records are held,you might be lucky. Brionne.

The actual church does not have a web site looks like now part of a campus.There must be records somewhere or they would not have copies at the British Library.Hopefully something has survived.
