Baptism 1954 Horsham
« on: Thursday 24 August 23 18:26 BST (UK) »
We have photos of my husband on the day he was baptised, but don’t know which church, in
The Horsham area.
The nearest is St Mary’s, Horsham, or possibly the church were his patent got married about two years earlier, which was Southwater church.
The Baptism would have been about May- August 1954
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you asking us to find the church?   With so little info that would be impossible.

Does the photo you have clearly show the church -why not post it to see if anybody recognises it - or why not Google St Mary's etc & compare the photo?

Use Google to find other churches in the  Horsham area & compare the photo with them

If the photo does not show the church - you would need to contact the 2 possible churches to see what records they have.   

Unless they have been digitised - most baptismal records are in date of baptism order which makes searching more time consuming

No church in the photo
Tried some local churches but they don’t have older records. Mostly only modern ones.
I can’t travel to Horsham as I am housebound.
I will see if the record office has a researcher.
Thank you
