Parish
Records - W.P. Phillimore
W.P. Phillimore
W.P. Phillimore, born William Phillimore Watts Stiff,
was the son of Dr Stiff, a Nottingham Doctor. He later took the
name Phillimore from the family of his grandmother. While educated
as a lawyer, he was also a publisher of books. In later life, he
began to transcribe marriage registers, which he later printed in
book form. When he died in 1914, he had covered 1200 parishes from
different counties in 200 volumes. He founded Phillimore & Co.
Ltd in 1897, which have been publishing British local and family
history for over a century.
Phillimore Parish Records
Phillimore Marriage Records are a series of books
published in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Phillimore
& Co. Ltd. They cover marriages from various parishes from each
county, however there may be some omission as some of the registers
have not survived. In some counties, the coverage of parishes is
very good, whereas in other counties just a few parishes were transcribed
- most counties do not have every parish transcribed.
