Gloucestershire Parish Registers are on Ancestry

[smudwhisk]

Pleased to find that ancestry have finally released the digitised parish registers from the GRO.   Mind you the first I've looked at have found marriages indexed as baptisms.   Usually ancestry quality control ....

They are colour copies, well the ones I've looked at anyway, so easier to read.

Sorry KGarrad, but you need to look under See All New Records on the homepage.

I do know a colour scan of an original parish register when I see one.

Mind you they are playing up a bit at the moment.  Been waiting for these since they released the Wills last year.  Last time I checked GRO's website, they said they were due to be launched "in the Spring".

And as it's missing from KGarrad's list, the following is a link to the Gloucestershire Wills that were uploaded to ancestry last year:

I was quoting from Ancestry's Gloucestershire, England, Extracted Parish Records -the only link I could find in the Card Catalogue?

EDIT:

This collection contains images of Church of England parish registers recording baptisms, marriages, and burials during the years 1538–1812 from various parishes in Gloucestershire, England.

And your point is? 

The source of the collection on the links in my previous post are Gloucestershire Archives.  Therefore they are copies of the original registers and NOT transcriptions.  Of course its going to say "various" because there are "various" parishes included.  If you actually browse the collection and look at the long list of parishes, you will probably find its all if not most of the county ... I say probably because ancestry do have a habit of leaving things off but that's not really the point considering the source.

As I said, if you check the "New Collections" post from the homepage, it tends to be more up to date than the card catalogue from my experience.

Stopping trying to dig yourself out of a hole ... I do know what I'm doing when I post a comment about a new collection or a link to something on ancestry.
