Heritage Open days - Access to Parish Records
« on: Wednesday 05 September 18 20:39 BST (UK) »
Not sure if this has been mentioned already but it's worth looking at the Heritage Open Days for this weekend.  I noticed my local church St Johns in Killingworth Village is allowing access to Parish records over the weekend.

Are churches in Oxford included in these open days? I have looked for over 30 years for my ancestors in Oxford and haven't found a baptism for any of the 8 childrens despite paying for searches by experts.

I'm not sure Peggy.  if you google Heritage Open days 2018 you'll be able to see what organisations are allowing access over the Heritage weekend.  Usually you can click on each individual organisation and see an overview about what is accessible over the weekend.
