Loughborough All Saints records prior to 1800

[Pauline_Hutton]

Hi
I have been trying to research ancestors in Loughborough but seem to have problems with the on-line sites for baptisms in Loughborough prior to 1800. Marriages and deaths seem to be OK but there is a definite shortage of baptisms. I am prepared to buy the transcripts of the records but before I spend money on this does anyone know if there is a problem with either the recording of baptisms or the state of the records which might account for this?
Many thanks
Pauline

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

I have free access to Loughb. Prs at the library if that would help.

Thanks for the offer but having tried as suggested above, I still got nothing. I think my lot must have not bothered over several generations or more likely been non-conformists.

Have some references for non-conformist baptisms if you would like me to have a look

You're so kind. The one I need first is william Grimley who was born in Loughborough in 1796 or 7 or so he claimed in three censuses. But anyone called Grimley in Loughborough before 1800 might be useful as I cannot find a single baptism.
Thanks again for your interest.
Regards
Pauline.

Sorry drawn a blank, checked a pdf for All Saints and there are plenty of Grimley marriages but no early baptisms
