You can purchase Oxfordshire parish register transcription CDs direct from the Oxfordshire FHS at www.ofhs.org.uk., although it is extremely unlikely that there will be any more information than that given by Jill above.

Awaiting the birth certificate for the above.Cost an arm and a leg! Didn't know where to send to so used this site.
Can I e mail the office in Southport or do I have to write?
I can't be spending the fifty quid this one has cost! But thought as my Aunt is so old speed was an essential component!

What site did you use ?   As a previous poster has said, certs are available direct from the General Register Office for £9.25

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro

Incidentally, having seen your previous post, I have looked at Britwell Salome and Newington parish register transcription (courtesy of OFHS) - there are no PARKERS at all.

Thank you Harry.
I have spent so much time jumping from one site to another got my sites mixed up!
Just under fifty pounds for a paper copy and anan express sevice e mail from a well known genealogy company!
Begins with A and ends with stry!
Can I just email to the link you gave?
Until the last couple of months my Aunt did all this ...on foot...by train...coach....rail.I don't know how she managed but it is her passion and now aged 102 she has handed it over to me!
I have to say it is fascinating and I am hooked.
Thank you for your help and support.
I am still awaiting the express e mail from An   stry!
Next time I will use your suggestion.
How long do they take to reply? Do you know roughly?

Miggs191,

From memory, you need to create an account and then enter the details of the event that you want the certificate for.   Delivery times vary, last time I ordered, it took 2 weeks.

I have partly solved one problem only to find another but I guess that goes with genealogy!
I have the birth cert. for Lilian Perry Clare Parker DOB 9/11/1866 registered 26/11/1866 where her father is listed as James William Parker .Her mother (my great grandmother) is listed as Mary Sarah Sissons Parker formerly Perry. Problem is I have searched for a marriage and there does not appear to be one listed under either of their names.The only one that occurs is her marriage 10 years later to my great grandfather John Biggs Banks.We have lots of wills and associated papers where she swears to be a spinster /not married etc. Is she lying?
As I asked in a previous posting where we now know the census info was not accurate,could she have been lying on her daughter's birth cert.?
Can any kind soul find a marriage?
In the 1871 census a James W Parker Engineer says he was born in Putney Surrey but I can not link any of this.
I have tried searching Devizes Wilts.
Putney Surrey
Berks./Oxf. (as boundaries changed) and can find nothing.
I am sure some one has a better brain than mine and can point me in a new direction.
Thank you! :-\

Hi miggs,

I'm not sure if you have already seen this, but freebmd.org.uk is showing a marriage;

Mar 1/4 1866 Dudley - William Parker to Mary Perry Vol.6c page.73

There are only two males & two females shown. To see just go to this site;

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

and click on the "blue" page numbers to bring up all who married in that location and quarter.
All I just did was to put in the surnames and searched "all counties".  It could be that he preferred
to use his "middle" names

This Dudley district spans the boundaries of Staffs & Worcestershire so may not be the marriage your looking for. But could J.W. Parker, being an engineer be working away from home, so to speak?

Thank you Alan.I'll try this.
The search has being going on since about 1958 but not by me of course.It was easier for the previous generation to me to search back to 1600 than to sort this bit out!
Thanks again.

Discovered a James w parker engineer born in Putney Surrey approx 1848.This matches the birth cert but on the 1871 census he is a visitor.Of course this could link with him being away from home.
but non of this solve the fact that Mary Sarah Sissons stated on legal documents that she was a spinster!
