This may help.... http://www.ogindex.org/ which allows you to search for online transcriptions.

Always worth a look at Genuki for the parish, too.

Many thanks, that is helpful.  However, I think one still has to search among each parish's links to see which if any give full transcriptions.  And transcription in Cumberland looks to be at that awkward stage where quite a few, but well less than half, are available.  E.g. with your help I've just searched Lamplugh successfully, but other local parishes, esp. Lorton and Loweswater, don't seem to have been done yet ;-(

Yes indeed. My own parish is patchily on line and we are volunteering to get more done. Although we are reasonably well placed for baptisms and marriages, I reckon there are several thousand burials to transcribe. They won't be completed this week!
