Hampshire Record Office and/or Romsey Library. https://www3.
hants.gov.uk/archives/hals-collections/hals-parish-registers.htm
Googling for those places will give you details such as addresses and opening hours.
Some of the registers have also been filmed by the LDS, so if you have a local FHC you can order in the film for viewing.

Search place-names, and type Romsey Hampshire. You should always select church records, and then parish registers, if possible. Indexes and transcriptions can contain errors.
If you don't know if you have a local FHC

The Society of Genealogists in London also have some of the parish registers. https://

Everyone should have GenUKI bookmarked.
In particular, see https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/HAM/church.shtml

Kevynne, you might wonder why I suddenly seemed to have changed my mind about transcriptions. From post #2
Indexes and transcriptions can contain errors.
My main county of interest is Lincolnshire - easily a three hour car journey away even on a M25 hassle-free day! - so I buy every index published by Lincolnshire FHS. It means that I can quickly see exactly which PRs/documents I need to check when I go to Lincoln Archives, instead of wasting time looking for a baptism in one village only to find that it occurred in a neighbouring one. So for me buying the indexes is extremely cost-effective.
If the cost of seeing the PRs (be it travelling to the Record Office or ordering in films) will be more than £8, then I would definitely recommend that you buy the CD.
Here I need to add something that anyone who buys something similar to this CD should bear in mind. You may find that there is absolutely no trace of the person/surname you're looking for, and therefore feel that you've wasted your money. On the contrary. If the cost of the CD is less than the cost of travelling to a Record Office or ordering films you have saved money. You have also saved yourself time.
