Sorry, don't use the site so can't help on searching but from the FAQ section

1.1 Do the parish registers in Essex Ancestors cover the whole of Essex?


Almost. They cover the whole of the Anglican Diocese of Chelmsford, which follows the boundaries of the historic county of Essex. There are just two small areas completely missing. Registers from Waltham Forest, covering the parishes of Chingford, Leyton (including Leytonstone) and Walthamstow, are held by Waltham Forest Archives. Registers from Hatfield Broad Oak are still held by the parish.


1.2 What about parts of historic Essex that are now in Greater London?


Essex Ancestors includes parish registers from the present London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham, and Redbridge. It does not include registers from the London Borough of Waltham Forest (parishes of Chingford, Leyton, Leytonstone and Walthamstow), whose registers are held by Waltham Forest Archives.

So if the baptism was in Walthamstow then it looks as if you would need the Waltham Forest Archives.
