Thanks Jonesey - I was just wondering whether anyone else on here had been to a reference library and could get their personal experience of how to go about it. |

I'm assuming that the relatives that you want to look up actually come from Birmingham? |

Parish records are just that, - ie. the records of a particular parish. In a big city that will involve many parishes, which may then subdivide into different churches within the parish, each having their own set of records. |

The main library in a town often holds parish records. |

Thank you so much everyone for your very helpful replies. I think I need to do more preparation before I go on a visit but at least I know what I'm up against. |
