Hi Everyone, I am searching for the baptism of my paternal grandmother Ethel Jane SPARROW born 1889 Alverstoke in Hampshire. As this side of my family was in the Royal Marines she baptised in a Royal Marines barracks church or Anglican. I cannot find the baptism on Ancestry or Familysearch. I would dearly love to get a copy of the baptism entry in the church register.
