One case is my husband who was born in England, christened in a Catholic Church in Australia and confirmed in a C of E Church in England at the age of 26. |

The problem with confirmation is that most people are baptised soon after birth ,confirmation is usually at the age of 10-12 years of age. |

I have copies of a Northants parish register (Blisworth) and there are lists of Confirmations in no particular order. A lot of the services took place in other churches and this is noted. It does look as though the vicar used the back covers of the baptism book to record them. |

They would most likely be held by the church where the confirmation took place.This would include both C of E and RC but not the 'free' churches (Methodists etc.) as they do not have a confirmation service as such. Cx. |

We have access to baptisms, marriages & deaths. Does anyone know whether there are records of confirmations? A large proportion of the population would have been confirmed up til quite recently & I would think the records if they exist, would be a good alternative source to baptisms. |
