This is a brilliant thread, I've just come across it and shall be checking out some websites I've never heard of before.

The sites I already use have been mentioned on here, but if I come across any new ones I'll post them to you all.

Hello there!

I'm not used to this lark, but I presume you've sent me a sort of message because I posted a cry for help. Am I right? I don't really think any more can be done but who knows? What do you think?

Regards, Pat.

a very useful page for Somerset researchers - type into Google Ian Sage & when you reach his homepage click on parish registers which will give you links to a lot of free indexes for Somerset
