or just google freereg

Or go to the links page on lancs-opc which also gives links to other opc sites,

Have just noticed that FMP has some Cheshire parish registers online - not all of them yet. I presume GR will follow up on this and add them sometime too.

Thnx Potty and mgnv....I might be a bit biased,being a Lancashire woman,but I do find the Lancs OPC the best! Lol ;-)

If ever you find yourself with relatives from the Medway area, the Medway City Ark archives are superb and free!

Maybe they are not as easy to navigate as Lancs opc, but the actual record is online and it's very moving to see your ancestor's signature or mark and any odd quirky comments the clergy may have added. Brilliant site. Cx :-)

Where is Medway,Cynthia? My geography is atrocious!

It's part of Kent Elaine. Kent is divided into different areas. Medway encompasses the towns which lie around the Medway River........Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham etc.

Elaine if I may offer a tip - try http://goo.gl/ when you have a very long URL to copy and paste. That site shortens the URL so it doesn't s-t-r-e-t-c-h the page!

This is how your link above comes out after being shortened - http://goo.gl/wB4ZxM
