Extracted parish records for Staffordshire are on Ancestry. I have found all baptism, marriage and burial records for my family in Longdon, Rugeley area.

Apologies, Thornwood, but is "extracted" as in "transcriptions"?  FindMyPast have the images of the parish registers, as well as transcriptions.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

You're right BumbleB, the records on Ancestry are only transcriptions.  The images I must have got from Find My Past when they had a free weekend.  Apologies.
