I bet they don't have Whitchurch parish church records? No one ever has those (bits and pieces on Family Search).  :'(

How do you get to browse a particular parish's actual images?

Hi Jill

Coincidentally, I am currently looking at the 1676 marriage of Hugh Wickstede and Susanna Atcherley at Whitchurch!

To view records for a particular parish, start here:

http://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/shropshire-archives

Type in the parish (as you type, parish names will be suggested for you to select) and hit the 'Search Shropshire Archives' button without entering any other details. This will bring up a list of the registers held for that parish, which you can then browse. Those held for Whitchurch (and there are lots of them!) include Baptist and URC as well as Anglican. Here's a link:

http://search.findmypast.co.uk/results/world-records/shropshire-archives?place=whitchurch

Good luck!

Steve

Kept me occupied for a few hours yesterday, got back a couple more generations on one of my lines.

Does anyone know if this includes every existing parish register for Shropshire?

For example my 5G grandparents Peter and Mary Danks had 5 children in Madeley between 1716 & 1727. I also have Peter's birth in Madeley in 1689 but can't find their marriage. This suggests that Mary was from another parish but there's no sign of their marriage on findmypast. Does this mean the record doesn't exist or are there other sources not included on FindMyPast?

FindMyPast posted on their Facebook page yesterday that they haven't finished uploading all their Shropshire records yet, so with a bit of luck some of the "missing" records may yet turn up.  ;)
