Elston parish records earliest records for births

[vowgirl]

I was wondering if someone could let me know if there are any early birth records I could research for Elston parish I see there are plenty of early marriage records.

According to GENUKI "The Anglican parish register dates from 1572 and is in good condition".

Thankyou both for this information I am wondering if you would be able to look into a birth I found on the Family search site it has a Thomas Higgens baptized 1750 Syerston doesn't name parents just though you may be able to see more information,

Thanking you
