Searching Parish Registers

Please Note. It is easy to mis-transcribe poor handwriting or pages that are in poor condition. There are some entries where it is impossible to categorically state what the word is, so make sure you look at all derivations of spelling.

For example:

• T, I, J and F can all look the same if written badly
• W, M, N and H can also look the same.

Remember that names will have been spelt in many different ways throughout the centuries, so look at every possible spelling of the name you are interested in.
