Thanks for putting up the correct link for free reg. I’m always doing it the wrong way.

You don't say which country.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

FMP and Ancestry have some. Obviously not free, but GR members will help, if asked

A lot depends on ‘where’ - some counties are better than others

Lancashire is particulalry well-served

Try www.freereg.co.uk.

They don’t have full coverage but well worth a try. Some places have Online Parish clerks known as OPC. They will do the lookup for you. You would need to do a ‘search’ to find if the place has one. Also check out Genuki ‘place name’ that will usually tell you the dates covered. If you need a lot of entries for one place look at the Family history societies - they often sell their transcriptions on disc.

I know I would have to look at Parish Records but where can I find them on the web?
