Hi. My first thought is to look at genuki and see where the parish records are held. If you live in the area then some of the local libraries also hold films or fiches of the parish records.  Sorry not to be of more help but I'm currently on holiday in France.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

Try www.familysearch.org and search records for baptisms in Redditch in the year you are looking for. Just took a quick look without having a name and see that they do have some records for Redditch.

Hi

Welcome to Rootschat :D

It would also be worth having a look on Freereg as they do have some Redditch records

http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/Search.pl

If you don't have any luck you could  post a lookup request here
