Pamela, it would certainly narrow down your search if you mentioned the religion of your family: Protestant, Anglican, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Baptist or other...
In 1953 peoples' living arrangements were varied: a residue of the war. Some newly formed families lived with other relatives, not necessarily either sets of parents, or in your case, grandparents. It maybe that newly formed families lived with aunts, cousins or people not blood-kin. The purpose of mentioning living arrangements of the day, is if your parents lived with non-blood relatives: as lodgers - your parents may have had you baptised in the locale where your grandparents actually lived and had better connections to the local church of their choice.

There is still a church on the Long Acre hill down to Cuckoo Road. I think it is Presbyterian. I used to be in the 72nd cubs there.
