Ancestry have added a number of non conformist and non parochial registers to their collection (with access to the original images).  This includes the Horsham Baptist chapel records such as the entry below recording the life of Matthew Caffyn.


One of my 'claims to fame' is that when I started my research I visited the Matthew Caffyn's chapel in Horsham and was able to use the original register books.  Of course now they are safely locked away at the National Archives and we only get to see the digital or microfilm image.  Much more sensible but it does give you an idea of how long I have been researching the Caffyn family!

Odd however that Ancestry have indexed the entry under Caffin not Caffyn.
