Hi Chris, many thanks, looks like a trip to Chippenham sometime.

You could try the link greyghost found Baptism on, which is free, otherwise Ancestry, or Find My Past, not sure what they hold for Wiltshire, Records Office better if you can visit!.

Many thanks for your information, but I'm still not sure if I have the right William, father of Thomas 1818. Is his parents William & Mary ? or William & Elizabeth BATH?
