Hi David,

I've just posted the following reply on Sky's thread where you first asked about this:-

You could order filmed copies of parish records for whichever counties you are interested in from your nearest LDS Family History Centre (addresses on www.familysearch.org) for just a few pounds. This will probably work out cheaper than getting the relevant records offices to do the look-ups for you.

Hi David

Firstly, use a search engine such as Google to find the addresses - enter KENT RECORDS OFFICE or similar and you should find the addresses.

Secondly, it depends what information you are looking for. If you know the exact date that something happened and can tell them where, they may sent you a photocopy of the register for a few pence. If you are asking them to actually look things up for you, they will most liekly charge you anything upto £30 an hour and then it depends how long it takes them to find what you want.

What sort of information were you thinking of?
