Some parishes have not sent any registers to the Record Office but have retained them locally, so it may be best to establish that first. |

Some local studies libraries will have some microfilmed parish records for that area |

Most Parish Records are kept in the County Record Office rather than at the church. The Record Offices all have websites which will tell you what records they hold and for what dates (Google for the website for the county you want). |

It might be easier to go to the local records office for that area. I think what happens is, the clergyman (or woman) fills in their register book until it's full and then sends it to be archived. Sometimes you can see the actual registers at the record office and sometimes they will be put on microfilm so people can see the records without the original document risking damage. |

How easy is it to look at Parish Records, are Vicars and Ministers usually helpfull, I would like to go to a local church to look, a lot of my ancestors were baptised and married at the same church. |
