Hi

Have you got this?
St Mary and St Lawrence, Gt Waltham baptism
3 May 1825, Emma daughter of William and Elizabeth Alger, farmer

This was the first baptism for William and Elizabeth that I could find I searched 1815 to 1825 for their marriage but couldn't find anything for them in Gt Waltham.

To follow the right Family the M/Cert is a must.
I am in Australia and have sent for English B/M/D Certs.
