    On the top banner click on Parish Registers
    Scroll down to bottom and select letter W from drop down box
    Scroll down again and select Woodham Ferrers from D D Box
    Select the church
    Select the parish dates you want to search.
    I cannot get any further as I don't have a subscription but from here you can browse the records.

    Edit - you can only view the ones that are on microfiche. The others are to view at the RO.

        Oh sorry I thought you meant you had registered and paid.
        It is expensive to search but for me it was worth every penny as my Wilkinsons all come from Essex.

        You need to go to Subscription Service in the Banner:

        1 day (24 hours) - £10.00
        1 week (7 days) - £20.00
        1 month (30 days) - £30.00
        6 months (182 days) - £60.00
        1 year (365 days) - £85.00

          You can get suscriptions of various lengths- 24hrs, a week, year etc. You then have access to everything online until it runs out. Image quality i find is the issue. It's quite pixelates when you try and zoom in for some parishes. And they aren't indexed.

              Quoting from SEAX - the italics are my insertion.
              'The Essex Record Office has an active digitisation programme, and some of the descriptions in Essex Archives Online include high quality digital images of the records themselves. Using these, you can do some of your family history research or other research without needing to see the originals. All of our images are free to view in the ERO Searchroom. Online, you can view images of a few records for free, but for most digitised records – such as parish registers, wills and electoral registers – you need to register and buy a subscription.'

              Transcribed baptisms for Woodham Ferrers are available for 1810-1869 on FreeReg - nothing before that I'm afraid.

                thanks for that info Kat, what a shame would there be anywhere for Essex Baps for those years?

                  FreeReg and The Genealogist have a few Essex baps but not Woodham Ferrers and neither does Family search. FS has Essex Baps but parishes are not named.

                    thanks again Kat, so frustrating, that Sheba is quite an unusual name yet can find nothing on her before her marriage in 1831

                      Could she have been Christened Bathsheba perhaps but didn't like it, so shortened it? I wondered because I had one of my Ligna Vita ones who married and lived as Vita.

                        It might just be that there are no online records for her. I'm convinced i'll bust my shaw brickwall down once essex gets transcribed.

                          Val, SEAX do have the baptism register for the period you want online. SEAX registers are not transcribed/indexed so it would be a case of buying a sub and searching the appropriate register yourself.

                            Many Essex registers have been transcribed by FreeReg. Problem is as a transcriber you have to subscribe to SEAX, download the registers one page at a time and then transcribe in your own time. This is obviously expensive. I downloaded most Tollesbury records and some for Tillingham while I had the subscription. You would need to be very keen or benevolent to do this or to be a regular visitor to the RO and transcribe from there. I guess not many more will be appearing on FreeReg.

                                  What are the images like Val? If they are bad download the pages over the 10 year spread to your computer. You can enhance them then and even put them on here using insert image direct from your computer. You can then search them at leisure.
                                  If they are readable then are there any dates missing? Could they have been baptised in a parish nearby? These are the parishes listed within 4 miles radius:

                                  Edit: I would search all these within the time limit you have.
