Cockshutt Baptism Registers
« on: Saturday 17 August 13 15:30 BST (UK) »
Was recently doing some research at Shropshire Archives particularly for Cockshutt Parish Church and only found Baptismal Registers upto 1851 does anyone know whether there are any further baptism registers and where are they?

I have a family mystery to solve and need to find baptisms to help solve the problem!!

There is detail on the registers here:

Seems odd they would only have baptisms up to 1851 if they have later records. I would guess they are still at the church. Maybe that register is still in use.

Costs £20 to view the reg.s.

Hi
Many thanks for your post.

I had found the church near you website and sent an e-mail hadn't heard anything which is why I posted on here. The churchwarden replied this week to say that the register was at the church and there would be a £21 charge. So good result all round and hopefully the information I need will be there to solve a family mystery  :)
