I am looking for a record in or around Westerham that could be John's baptism. The FS site is not co-operating for me at the moment to look through BT's ( obviously hit and miss - depending on coverage ) Is there any other resource. A....ry starts at 1813 for bapt.
Weald.org ends at 1803 ! but there are several SKINNER couples there pre 1804.
Thomas & Anne , John & Anne , John & Hester.
The last two quite promising
