Canterbury on Familysearch.org
« on: Wednesday 16 January 13 15:11 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Looking through numerous bmd on Familysearch.org there is no church given, only Canterbury and I wanted to look up the appropriate entries on Find my Past, Canterbury Cathedral Archives.

Does anyone know, please, whether it is possible to ascertain which church the Familysearch.org entry relates to specifically or is it just a matter of trawlling through FindMyPast to find the relevant entries?

An example of this problem I have found is

Sophia Wood baptism
7 June 1767
Canterbury, Kent, England
Batch No. I04796-5

Thanks in anticipation ...

Sophia Wood was baptised in St Mary Bredman

I have Canterbury BMDs Indexes from 1752, these give name, date, (parents for baptism) & church.
