Thanks for your reply.
I had seen this site and the Millbank family in 1841 are from whom I am descended.

I have Milbanks in my family and at the moment they seem to cluster around The Easters and The Rodings. It's not a common name though, so there could be a link with your Henham and Felstead branch somewhere along the line.

Hi Diblet

I have a William Millbank born c1796 who married Sarah Young, born Felstead, in Felstead in 1817. William was of Henham at time of marriage, but could find no baptism there.
There is a baptism of a William in 1797 in High Easter, son of Thomas and Mary, but whether he is my William, I don't know.
William and Sarah are in Henham in 1841. William dies in St. Albans, Herts in 1845 and Sarah dies in Henham in 1858.

Hallo Henham, what a brilliant site 

BUT I am feeling sad on one point. On looking through the baptisms of the children of William and Sarah Milbank (harness maker), there is one missing. = unless I'm missing something.
William Milbank baptised 29th November, 1828  = (my 2x g.grandad)

Do you think this could be amended. 

Thank you.

Hi

It maybe that they were not baptised in the church, can you send me an email via the website and give me all the info, especially which church and if it was Henham, we see a lot being baptised in nearby churches and we have not included them.
