Hi there

Welcome to Rootschat.
Have you got a specific surname you are looking for or is it quite a few?

If you put some names on here people will try and help you.  There are
alot of baptism records on line but you normally have to pay for them.
Try FamilySearch Record Search which is a free site by the Church of the Latter day Saints. You will find some on there as I have found them on my search for my Yorkshire folk, saying that they dont really go up to 1940 but you could probably get alot from 1830 to 1900??

Hi

It doesn't look as if they do. This site might help.

The official name of Croydon Parish Church is St John the Baptist.
