HAMMERSMITH BIRTH/PARISH REGISTER
« on: Sunday 26 March 06 18:45 BST (UK) »
Hello there

Can anyone do look ups for the above area please? The person in question was born in 1916 in Hammersmith. The parish register was the only place i could think of that would list all baptisms till the 1960's.

Thanks in advance.

There was not one parish 'Hammersmith'.  Here is a list of parishes in the Hammersmith area in 1903.  There may have been more in 1916:

This doesn't include nonconformist churches obviously, plus baptisms taking place at hospitals/workhouses.  Who exactly are you looking for? If you have an address from a birth certificate you may be able to work out which parish they would have been in.
