Hi Susan, I completed a similar search with lots and lots and lots of help from GR historians in 2009. As part of that search I received this link. |

I have found baptisms for children born to travellers for someone on GR. |

Susan. We might be able to help your search if you would be willing to provide some names, dates and places, or anything you know about the family. Sometimes two heads are better than one, and on this site twenty or more heads usually wind up with the answers. |

I found this site yesterday almost by chance when I was looking for similar information. I haven't had a good look at it yet but it may be useful to some with travelling ancestors. |
