Thanks for the list of parishes, I was trying to find that myself earlier but they don't make it all that easy.

I have managed to find some relatives despite that fact that Find My Past's search facility wouldn't return anything for them. So my advise would be to look through the registers yourself if you know where and when a relative should be.

What's the quality of the images like generally?

What's the quality of the images like generally?

I've looked at some of the Burslem ones and they are pretty good, some are a bit dark but more than legible.

What's the quality of the images like generally?

I have just done a random sample and they they were good.

There were a couple of pale ones but they were early registers so probably pale original, they were still readable.  Generally they are no different to what you would get if you were viewing them on film somewhere.

There is still no sign of my Greatx3-Grandfather Daniel Durber given in 1841 as born in c 1780.

Wrjones, have you seen the 1788 Daniel Doorbar on familysearch? May be a bit lit for your Daniel Durber, but could be worth a look.

Thanks Rosie and deirdre, i did wonder as sometimes when freereg have photographed microfilm and microfische some come out a bit blurred round the edges. Then again the ones who used the microfilm for these may have better quality equipment to work with. I can see by some of the microfische some registers are in dreadful state..

Whilst it may be a little late,that it is given as Doorbar does not rule it out.The same Daniel Durber was to marry a Mary "Unknown" before 1815 in the Burslem area,a marriage I have yet to find.
