I am trying to locate the baptism register for st Barnabas, Ryland street, Birmingham 1857-8. I am looking for a baptism for Lucy Aston born 1857. Father's name Samuel mother's name Rhoda. Any ideas where I can find these registers?
I'd assume that they would be held at the Library of Birmingham
I think this is the correct St Barnabas (there are at least 3), if you click on the pdf link it says deposited by the vicar of St John's, Ladywood so right area...
They also seem to be on Ancestry, no Lucy Aston but I can't be certain I'm looking at the correct St Barnabas. Records are listed as Birmingham, St Barnabas.
Thanks all, She did not have a sister the information I have is she may have been baptised at St Barnabas as her parents were listed on the census living in that parish.
