The Horsham registration district covered a number of areas.  From census info - is he shown as born in Horsham or one of those other areas

1891 census has an 8yr old William Champion b Horsham - parents James & Eliza

Hi, thanks for your reply.  :) 
Yes, that's him and his parents in Census.  Birth Reg was Horsham district; I believe they lived in central Horsham, then later at a place called Roffey, which is now on the outskirts of Horsham.  He had older siblings called Charles Morrey (chr 29/11/1874); and James circa 1876. 

 Thanks for your help  ;D

Hi Carole,
Can I mark this as completed, as I have found out about SussexFHG and intend to join this group in late October and I'll then be able to search parish records every spare moment, without putting any more volunteers to extra work.

Thanks for your initial research.

Best wishes,

Tim
