Thanks for that website recommendation. I just put in my grandmother's maternal surname (not very common one) and came up with 3 documents, which may well belong to our family. I'll be writing to the office to see how much it costs to get copies. So thanks again - it may well be another step along the way!

Hi Jill:

Great to hear you had good luck.  What a great find for you.  I know the feeling.  My 3xgrgrandmother was born to a single mum and I am hoping to find a record on her. Fingers crosssed.

Sitll cold, windy and trying to rain again here.


Cheers

Hi everyone, if you go to www.englishparishregisters.com you can buy these records and many more for only a couple of quid. They're sent by email, so you get them back almost immediately. I've bought loads of stuff off this site - it's the best!
