Thanks Tim for the idea.

Can anyone help me?

My dad (Reginald Francis Broquet) was baptised at a church in Guernsey in about 1904. He was born the 12th of November, 1904. (Parents were Francis John and Emily Clara Broquet). I have a picture of the baptismal in the church, but don't know which church it was. If it helps, the baptimsal is 8 sided and sits on a double white (probably marble) base. Bottom base being a good bit larger the top base. The baptismal color is a mix of brown and white and each rounded side has a cross that looks like a plus + sign with a circle on each side of the plus sign (the circles would make a square with the + inside. The lower legs are round spindle with what looks to be multicolor on them. There was a gold color pitcher on the smaller white base next to the baptismal.

This all probably sounds like Greek, but that's the only explanation I can give. If anyone has any idea of what church I'm talking about, I'd appreciate knowing.

Lots of luck and thanks to anyone that can figure out what I'm trying to describe.
