I can see two William Finch baptisms for 1834 in Essex and they are both non-conformists. Were the Records Office actually looking at the non-conformist records as these are usually held separately from the usual C of E parish records.

To be honest though, you won't get any more information than is on the IGI, other than possibly the occupation of the father.

Hi Margaret,

I think you'll find that parish records are held in most main libraries and not registry offices.
