Like most counties they are probably waiting for enough volunteers in their FHS to help produce it.  Why not volunteer?

Hi

Post on here what you are looking for and perhaps one of us local yokels will be able to help you.

You could always check the freebmd site as there are some Norfolk stuff on there and there are other Norfolk sites you could try.  Put your request on here and someone will point you in the right direction.

I'm confused as to what you are after.

Births, marriages and deaths have been subject of civil registration for the whole of England and Wales since 1837. These can be found in many places, including online at 1837online and other sites.

Indexes of events prior to then are likely to relate to baptism, marriage and burial and recorded in parish registers. Norfolk has about 750 parishes, many more than the shires you mention. Indexing/transcribing them all is an enormous task - and of course indexes/transcripts should only be used as a guide so you will need to research in the traditional manner - i.e. using original records at the NRO or copies purchased from them on fiches/film, or hiring filmed copies at one of the mormon church record centres.

In the meantime, indexes and transcripts can be found on the Norfolk Transcription Archive and the Norfolok History web-sites - these research aides may possibly help you to make best use of your time in a record centre.
