Title: Dudley Records
Post by: verezzi on Friday 02 June 23 20:06 BST (UK)

Hello,

Does anyone know if any of the family history websites like Genealogist, Ancestry etc have accessible online records for Dudley and Netherton particularly those 1850s+? I have had a look on various websites and the resources tab on here and it doesn't seem like they are accessible anywhere?

Have a good night,

Dan

Hi
Full transcripts for baptisms, marriages, and burials at St. Thomas in the 1850's on FreeReg
https://www.freereg.org.uk/

From the 1860's it gets more patchy.
For their coverage of all Dudley records see here

Thanks, I love Freereg- such an amazing resource. Just looking to plug the gaps they don't have, Worcestershire seems woefully underrepresented compared to other districts on sites like Findmypast. All the best for the weekend.

Familysearch.org seem to have films of the Dudley registers, but unfortunately they are locked from viewing at home, which would mean a visit to a familysearch library or associate library.
The ones I looked at, (St Thomas), do have a search button next to them however, so you could do a search to see if it would be worthwhile visiting to see the original entries.
To get to the films, go to 'catalogue', put in Dudley,  scroll down to 'church records'.
