I think this is the link you refer to.
I am currently transcribing marriages (Births & Burials completed) for Euxton near Chorley.
Good to know the voluntary work is appreciated - why not volunteer to transcribe a parish of interest to you?
Enjoy the site.

Hi xtonaud
People like yourself certainly are appreciated. Because i know it takes a lot of your own personnel time up.I use the resources on all counties of interest. I wouldn't be good enough myself to volunteer subscribing,but only yesterday because there seems only one source, and thats on film. For marriages in St Hilary Liscard Cheshire between 1812 & 37 (before 1812 they are in book form) and are Ban, and marriage certificates.I Decided to make an index for my own use.I thought it might save time looking for a marriage that wasn't there Grin

. so an unnecessary trip to the library Wink

Yesterday i did 1830 to 34.So next time someone asks for a marriage lookup about <1831>for Enoch Lloyd and a Sarah don't know Grin

I can tell them. I also plan to work up to 1837,.Then work from 1812 up to 1830.That sould keep me busy a couple of afternoons a week for most of the winter Grin

Hi Celia

Believe me I'm still a novice - I get lots of help and support from the more experienced volunteers. I've just finished burial records for Euxton and am doing marriages now. Then I'll take a little time out for my own tree before starting another parish. Give it a try - not so difficult as you might think, but believe me, very addictive. Good luck with your searches.
