The LDS was not allowed to film the registers of either Somersham or Warboys, nor is a transcription available on fiche as is the case with some Hunts parishes.

So the bad news is that the only place they can be viewed is Huntingdon Records Office, who also run a research service at a very reasonable cost, and they are extremely efficient. My 3xg grandmother was from Somersham so I know how frustrating it can be trying to research in that parish.

Good luck

David
