I have just purchased this book which came today and just to say I am well impressed. I would really recommend it for anyone who is back to looking for parish records (record offices) around the UK pre 1837. |

The first half of the book is maps, two different styles for each county, one like parish boundaries and one which is supposed to be main sort of roads from parish to parish, showing the likely routes ancestors took. All maps are pre 1837. The second half of the book is set out county by county and then lists all places in that countyin aphabetical order, and gives the record office where the parish records are deposited and the dates from and to. It also lists which censuses are available for each place (presuming at the record office), records on the IGI, which places are on Boyds Marriage Index, any on Pallots Marriage Index, registration district, any Non Conformist records and then gives a reference so you can find the place on the relevant map. A very useful tool, I think it will be well thumbed. |

Glasgow Mcalls yes it does cover Scotland and it qualifies for free delivery on Amazon. If you get a used edition the third edition is the most up to date one, I think there is a slight difference but not sure what, just read somewhere that the third edition is better. I ordered from Amazon on Saturday and it was dispatched on Monday, arrived Tuesday, FREE. Someone may find it cheaper but I have no worries with Amazon. |
