Sorry to butt in on your thread, but can someone explain what Bishops' Transcripts are? Sounds like it might be useful. Parish registers - They can also show where more than one person has been baptised together at the same time, ie brothers and sisters. I even saw once the details of a group of prisoners being christened as adults together!!! |

Wow, thats impressive. I think I would like to know 1. How to find them easily in the first place at a records office. I spent half an hour faffing about not understanding what I was supposed to do. Also, how to use the microfiche and film machines. What I can expect to find. If they are total novices - things like what OTP means in the register or private baptism, base born, the difference between formerly, late and also known as. How to find overlapping parishes to check one of the ancestors hasnt moved across the road and fallen into a diff parish. |

I have to give a talk on parish registers. I have my own ideas about the sort of information I should include, but what would YOU want to learn about? All suggestions gratefully received, though I'll have to leave the rabbit to run by itself for a few hours as I'm off to work. |
