Parish Register Finding Aid

Bishops' transcripts
Bishops' transcripts are copies of the parish registers which were sent to the bishop on an annual basis.
They may occasionally cover gaps in the originals. However there are substantial gaps in the years covered by the bishops' transcripts.
Please note that these gaps are not recorded in the parish register finding list.
