LIST OF RECORDS IN LOCAL CUSTODY

Please note that we can only really help you if the person about whom you are seeking information was baptised, married or buried by the local Rector in any of the parishes listed. A list of headstone inscriptions for each churchyard has also been compiled. This is particularly useful where the burial records no longer exist.
