Croydon Parish records
« on: Thursday 07 May 15 08:29 BST (UK) »
Hello has anyone got access to Croydon Parish registers? I need to find the christening of Dick Gibbs. He was born on April 29th 1889 at 43 Lambeth Road, Croydon, his mother was Emma Gibbs (formerly Heartfield) Basically I'm trying to find the name of his father, who is left 'blank' on the birth certificate.
Thanks in advance

Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Emma has a lodger on the 1891 census - a Fred Mann, age 27, iron moulder from Lincoln. A possibility?
