	You need parish registers - record offices. On line you might be lucky to find them on www.familysearch.com that is the IGI Or you can try asking for a specific on the records board or trying to find board. Give as much detail as you can and try not to post identical requests on different boards to avoid duplication of effort. Plenty of people will help you.
