Parish
Records - Helping you trace your Family History back to the 1500's
Parish registers are records of baptisms, marriages, and burials made
by the Church. These records are a valuable resource for researching
your family tree, as civil registration and census returns do not
go back further than c.1840. Parish records can extend your research
back to the time of King Henry VIII, with most records going back
to the 1600s (and some going back to the 1500s!)
Transcripts are published by societies or individuals.
S&N Genealogy have published these parish records when permitted
to do so or when the records are out of copyright, and are always
looking to increase the range of the publications.
