Does anyone know of a site that I can visit. I have an ancestor born in Oakham (probably Staffordshire) and would love to know where she would be christened i.e. nearest church/town. This was pre 1837, she is one of my brick walls or a big pain in the rear. Thank you Pat

Hi, I was born in Oakham in Rutland and the main church that dates back centuries is called All Saints. Hope that helps somehow. Di.
