I believe that I was baptised at St George's RC Church, Sprowston Road, Norwich. Their records were transferred to St John's Church, Norwich, between 1935 and 1941, probably due to some rebuilding or renovation work in course. Since 1976, St John's has been the Cathedral Church of East Anglia Diocese. My sister Margaret's baptism is recorded at St George's, but there is absolutely no record of mine , nor at the Cathedral.

I enquired of Holy Innocents Church, Orpington as they would have seen a record of my baptism before my marriage. Somewhat to my amazement, they have no record of my marriage, nor of my brother Malcolm's which was one month before me. There are some dates in 1967 when no records can be found and one must suspect that they have been lost - the Church has been rebuilt since then! They do have a record of my confirmation.
