Hello, I would like to remind everyone about parish registers at the your libraries. You will be amazed at what information you can find out about your ancestors. The book. Original Parish registers in record offices and libraries for ENGLAND and WALES which I read in my library dated 1974 was was obtained from Tawney House Matlock Derbyshire. It gives reference of where to find parish registers. Hope this helps. Shirley
