Parish registers in Salisbury
« on: Sunday 26 November 06 11:43 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether I could find the Parish Registers I need in Salisbury.
Many of my folks came from Homington and Coombe Bissett and I was wondering if these PRs be seen at Salisbury Library or would I have to go to the County Record Office. Both villages are just a mile or two from the city.
I was wondering whether it involves a quick pop up the road or a whole rainy-day out. :)
Many thanks, Fred

Hi Nicky, thanks for your kind offer.
I was just planning an expedition to Wiltshire but wondered whether Salisbury is worth a look (I'm not very far away!)rather than going all the way to Swindon or the new CRO. I wasn't sure what they had in the library in the way of parish records as I have various threads to follow in the area.
All the best, Fred

Hi Fred
I go to the WSRO occasional and can look up parish records.   Just post your request and I'll see what I can do.
Cheers Dave
