Howdy again.
Does anyone know of any free images or online information for Bishop's Stortford?
I really prefer the original images, love looking through the records, but anything would help.
Cheers.

LDS has the Durham bishops transcripts, and many parish records for Greater Manchester (which they label as Ches-Lancs-Yorks)

For Lancs http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/indexp.html
For Ches http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/

Not scanned records but the parish of Long Whatton, Leicestershire has transcribe their records on line also 1841-1901 Long Whatton census

try googling online parish clerks. About 8 counties subscribe to this and have in some cases parish records from 1500's to 1950's on line. None are complete but if you are lucky enough to find the parish you want tere is a wealth of free information. Lancashire have a brilliant search facility.

Also for the Manchester area of Lancashire there is a new site which if the church you want is there, has images of the registers. Not complete but being updated. There is also a little there for Cheshire & Yorkshire (mainly those on the Lancs boundary which have 'changed sides')

https://www.familysearch.org/search/image/show#uri=https%3A//api.familysearch.org/records/

Nudging this for any new people looking for some great sites. Please feel free to add sites!

Good point, Lorraine.

BTW, I found the Norfolk images (and Cheshire and Cornwall are in there too but it seems they cannot be accessed unless you do a search (Norfolk is not indexed)). I should have an ancestor in th Norfolk one but cannot find his birth in the Barnham/Broome images :(

family search are currently indexing a lot of uk parish records, I index for them and its free to view so the more who index the quicker records become available for free .

Sorry to resurrect a seven-week-old thread, but I decided a few days ago to put together a list of online sources for scanned parish records. In researching, I came across this thread.

I had some of the ones you have mentioned (I've used both Seax and the Medway archives in my own genealogical research). I was, however, unable to find scans at some of the sites mentioned above - parish of Norbury, HALS, NOAH, and FreeReg.org.uk / Norfolk collection in the Record Pilot of familysearch.org

Could someone give me some more exact links so I can populate my website a bit more? ;)

Thanks for discussing this!

My website is http://www.parishrecordsonline.org.uk but I'm only an intermediate genealogist, so let me know if I've made any mistakes!

and for Cambridgeshire...

Hertfordshire have some records on line. These include Banns etc. Google HALS.

Parts of Norfolk are on FreeREG whereas those same parts are missing from the LDS site ...

Also Norfolk has records on line - google NOAH - including old Wills for free and these are really helpful.

Also don't forget that you can download wills from The National Archives site - these are £3.50 a go and all of the ones I've downloaded have been well worth it for the explanation of family relationships etc.

Mrs Grumpy has already mentioned the Medway area of Kent. This is the link

cityark.medway.gov.uk

Then select Parish Registers Online from the blue column on the left. They are currently being transcribed by the Kent freereg group, but will probably take a few years to complete.

For ancestors in Appledore/Northam area of North Devon this is a fantastic resource

http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/Northam/

If anyone got ancestors from villages around Heckington Lincolnshire then this is excellent

Norfolk records are available at LDS Familysearch. Go to advanced search/record pilot...Europe, then scroll down to Norfolk.
Bit tricky if you don't know what area your ancestor was from as there are so many parish images to view.
