This is the main 'search' page http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp
I used the film/fiche search to answer your question

Thank you for the link, this will help me with other "which church" queries.

Also the second link that you posted showed a wonderful photo of Brampton Market 1871, my great great grandmother lived in 14 Front Street Brampton which I think is in the area of the market place and I am now trying to match the photo to the present Google map.

I am now trying to match the photo to the present Google map.

Take a look at this 'Old Maps' website http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html

Enter 353078 and 561086 in the two boxes marked 'coordinates', then click 'go'.

This should show you the point from which I think the photo was taken, looking west down Front Street.

You can see old maps of the same area by clicking on the boxes to the right-hand side, titled 'All Available Maps'.

Here's an old photo from 'geograph' looking up towards the spot where the 1871 photo was taken (by the building with the clock tower - the Moot Hall)  http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2282353

We've had a thread on Brampton churchyard before http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,316576.0.html

JenB ... you may find it convenient to use this format for the Old Maps website www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=353078,561086

I keep an URL in that format in my Bookmarks/Favourites then I can easily edit it fo a new location.

Thanks for the tip, which I've just tested out (I hope successfully) here http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,564192.msg4169927.html#msg4169927
