PARISH REGISTER ENTRIES

These entries were, have been gathered over many years, from various unrecorded sourses, many from the IGI. There is now a slow program of sourcing each entry with, if possible, a link to a copy of the original register or printed entry. Those entries that are unsourced must be read with caution.

To use this database material as a finding aid, additional columns were added such as to which branch individuals belonged etc. Please note that this material is not considered complete, it is only presented here as a working aid.
