Does anyone know if PR's for Enfield are available on-line anywhere? I have looked in usual places with no luck.
I am trying to find a birth/baptism for Elizabeth Briggs. She married 30 Jan 1856 Enfield St Andew to Alfred Gowers. She was 23(1833) and her father was William who was a farmer. Witnesses were Charles and Sarah Briggs. In 1841 Enfield census is an Elizabeth Briggs(1833) born in County with father William (ag labourer) mother Sarah and a brother Charles. In other census Elizabeth Gowers birth year varies but always Enfield.

Yes - see http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=1558
If you go to right of page, you can browse thru records, and the borough Enfield is there - including some Enfield churches. I don't have a sub, so can't help with further details.

Thanks Catherine

That baptism looks good especially if family moved to Enfield while Elizabeth at a young age but no idea how to prove it.
