I am another new comer and have exhausted all online searches for the earliest ancestors I've found and have come to the conclusion that I will need to locate parish registers to get any further forward.
I am particularly looking for baptisms in 1790 in Leytonstone, 1796 in Little Burstead and 1823 in Billericay, all in Essex. In addition I'd like to look for a marriage in the same area between the years I've mentioned.
I think those for Leytonstone could be at Vestry House Museum, Walthamstow but haven't a clue where the others will be. I also think that Billericay came under Great Burstead parish at the time in question but having looked at the Seax site which lists the registers held at the Essex Record Office, these places/dates are not among them.
Can anyone throw any light where the relevant registers are and how I should go about looking at them please? For example can I just visit, make appointment, enlist help from staff to find what I am after? Sorry for being a block head but I haven't got this far before.
