This post covers locations both in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.
Jacob and Martha Thompson (nee Boothman) had five children, William (1875); Louisa (1877); John (1879) Annie (1881) and another Annie (1884). According to FHL they were all baptised in Epworth (apart from Louisa who can't be found in baptism records). All have civil birth registrations in Crowle. I have trawled through the parish registers for Epworth; Crowle and Thorne for the years of the various births but haven't found any of them! Is there any shortcut or do I just need to open up every parish register in the region to find the baptism record for these children?
Thanks for any suggestions!

There are 'Select Christenings' on Ancestry for William 1875 and Annie 1885 (which aren't very helpful) - on Ancestry. Both in Epworth, Lincolnshire.
I suppose you have tried Family Search?

Thanks Dundee
When I follow the link I get to family search and then I click on the camera icon (which has a exclamation mark) and I get a message saying "Image unavailable; the image is unavailable for online viewing at this time". When I exit that message I then see - "Image Restricted
Image access is typically determined by local laws or the custodian who has the original document".Am I missing something? Are you able to see the document?

If the images have been uploaded to FamilySearch then typically they are only available to view online at an LDS family history centre. They are also available at the Lincolnshire Archives.

Thanks Debra
Does that mean my only course of action is to drive to Lincoln?
