Churchdown Parish Registers

[0rinoco]

Is there an online source of parish registers (or extracts) for Churchdown. My main interest is the mid 1700s.
Thanks.

At http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyGloucester_(A-M).htm#C you will find that the LDS has extracted the data from the Churchdown church records.

From experience I can confirm that the LDS extraction accuracy is very good but the batches which were once fully comprehensive have had some items deleted, so one must cross ones fingers and hope

Regards

Chas

P.S.
Bear in mind that batches contain extractions not transcripts

Have you thought of having a look at http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,298.0.html  because your picture showing the horse and rider might be improved by somebody there.

Thanks, Chas. I'll check the link out. As for the picture, taken about 1865, the definition is extremely poor. I have done some enhancement on the forum for others, but I don't think the picture of ggg uncle John would lend itself to improvement. It is not an original copy, so I don't know what it was like in the first place. Might have a go when I've nothing else to do.

Edit: Just been to the site and found the information I needed. Thanks, Chas.

For some reason, the IGI link from ChasH (above) is no longer available. Is there anywhere else I can access these records?

Hi Orin0co

I expect the Hugh Wallis site will be back before long - it has hit some technical difficulties.  See threads on the subject on the Common Room board.

Kind regards, Arranroots

Eric and other Chatters,

As the HW site is not available, use the procedure at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/FindingBatchNos.html to find a batch number for info. extracted from your particular parish's records.

Then go to http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true enter the particular  surname, region's details and batch number then hit the search button.

You will be given the info you could have found had the HW site been available.

Regards

Chas
