Hello Steph,
I can't help you at the moment with your query, but you have perhaps helped me. I have your Charles and Ann Stocker on my tree as tiny twigs, and have some forward info on their 7 children. Ann was married to John Tyrell before Charles Stocker.
What I also have is an-as-yet, unconnected, Stocker family in Stratfield Mortimer starting in 1786 with George Stocker. Your information is one more addition to my thoughts that this is where the Stocker family originated.
Unfortunately, the Stratfield Mortimer registers have not been, and are not likely to be, published. There are a few on IGI and some also for the Independant Church at Mortimer West End, but it is a case of paying for a search or doing it yourself in Reading.
Yours
Vicwinann

A bit pessimistic! I am sure that all PRs will be published eventually - though, perhaps, not that soon.
It is very rare for me to visit the Berks RO and not find people there transcribing or checking PRs for Berks FHS - some volunteers give a huge amount of time to this work - and it does bear fruit. I think the next one to come will be Reading St Laurence (a huge transcription job). Their efforts do seem to be concentrated on the many Reading parishes at present - but that's just my impression from the occasions when I notice what they are working on.
If anyone can get to Reading they could help speed up the process by joining in and transcribing for Berks FHS (contact projects@berksfhs.org.uk) - or FreeReg or even publish them independently.

I think, as you well know, NewburyChap, that the Berks Record Office will NOT allow publication of Parish Records on freereg or anywhere else on a general scale for distribution. It quotes copyright as the reason. That is one of the reasons why some records formerly published by the Federation of Family History Societies that were online have had to be removed.
Most people transcribing are probably doing so for the benefit of people who can visit the RO or Berks FHS next door. More power to their elbow, but for those who cannot get to Reading to see them, or to transcribe, or are unable to afford to pay fees for distance searches, the situation is as I said.
The RO policy has not changed since 2007. If you remember, both you and I contributed to a long discussion on this subject on this forum http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,216951.0.html that has recently been updated with further discussion by other people.
The RO Archivist clearly laid it out in a letter to a contributer.
