OTHER INFORMATION
The index is split into alphabetical files using Adobe Acrobat 6.0. The file extensions are PDF format. The software that is required to open these is available as a free download from http://www.adobe.com
The files on this disk are an index to the parish registers and not full transcriptions of the parish register entries themselves.
If an entry contains additional information then this has been recorded. This can include marriages that have taken place in another parish.
Any additional information to the parish register entry has also been recorded.
Groom and bride files are normally sorted alphabetically by surname then forename, some forename entries may be listed at the end of the surname they belong to so please check the whole surname listing, [e.g. If searching for Hannah Wright also check after the last forename variant ‘Widow’ Wright].
