With the godparents can we have one who is Catholic and one from Church of England

Call a priest. These days different Catholic churches and even different priest in the same church, interpet the rules differently. I married outside the church, therefore I could not receive the sacraments, but I could attend mass.
The church has changed though, I would really call a Catholic church.

Yes, the baby can be baptised in a Catholic Church, but I believe both godparents are supposed to be Catholic. However it depends on geography. I know some Catholic Church priests will baptise the baby as long as one of the godparents is Catholic.

Yes, if you plan to raise the child as a Catholic.
The Godparent(s) must be Catholic.
Actually only one Godparent is necessary. You can have one godfather, one godmother, or one of each.
The role of the godfather and/or godmother is very important. They must be firm Catholic believers, able and ready to help the newly baptized—child or adult—on the road of Christian life.
To ensure this, a godparent must be at least 16 years old (for maturity's sake), fully initiated (having received Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist), be someone other than the legal parents, and one who leads a life in harmony with the Church.
If you have only one Catholic godparent, then you may have a non-Catholic participate as an official witness. The witness will be responsible for setting a good example for the baptized person while the Catholic godparent will share the specifics of the Catholic faith.
With love in Christ.

Yes, that shouldn't be a problem, as long as you are both in agreement that you will raise the baby Catholic. As far as the godparents are concerned, the non-Catholic godparent would be listed as a "Christian witness". Check with your pastor for more information.

You should not have any problem. If they give you greif, look for another Catholic church, or an Anglican church. Staying with a church that is that difficult and pedantic to refuse to baptise your child because one of his parents in Hindu is not worth you while anyway.

You can definitely have your child baptized if you intend to raise him in the faith but I do not think the Church will allow a god parent from the Church of England. It is usual that both god parents be Catholic as they are the ones who will promise to help see that your child is raised in the Catholic Faith.

Why do you want to? By your choices religion is not that important to you. Baptizing a child does nothing for the child. It only elevates the guilt in the parents established by the catholic church. It has no standing with God.

Should be ok as long as the hindu (sorry you didn't mention whether you are mother or father) agrees to allowing the baby to be brought up in the Caholic religion, same goes with the Godparents.
Hope this helps, good luck with the baby & enjoy the day

Yes, as long as you both agree to bring the child up Catholic.

i didn't even know hindus could get married outside their religion. Regarding the godparents, that is not possible because they are from two different denominations
