Parish Reg. - Kendal westmorland

[snoons]

Look up on original Parish Reg. (Kendal WESTM or Bolton-le-Sands LAN) in case it says where parents are from....
IGI shows baptisms for children of Peter MORRIS & Roberta ? between 1816 and 1825 in Kendal WESTMORLAND.
IGI also shows bapt for more children of same in Bolton-le-Sands LAN between 1808 and 1813.
Looking for info where Peter & Roberta married, ultimately where they were born.
1841 C says they aren't from WESTMORLAND.
Haven't as yet found Roberta on later Census, (she died late 1861), and husband Peter died Mar 1/4 1850. 
Apparently he was a Sexton at Kendal church when he died.
Roberta is buried in Hulme LAN churchyard.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi

Bolton le Sands PR's are on http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/tocs.html  - It seems the place of residence for Peter and Roberta is Bolton.

Thanks Rosie99
Looks like a handy site, however after looking through Bolton-le-Sands and not finding marriage for Peter MORRIS & Roberta, or baptism for Peter MORRIS, (no other MORRIS baptisms in the 1790's either) I think it looks like I'll be looking for the "needle in a haystack"...
Any hints on which parishes are close to Bolton as there appear to be millions on that wonderful site?
Thanks again,
snoons.

Hi snoons

You can search the whole site without selecting a parish - go to
http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/tocs.html 
select OPC search
then 4 lines down in text - you may click to search the whole county.

Not sure where to locate a map of the parishes - I have only strayed into BLS with my Morecambe lot.
Genuki looks favourite  http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Gazetteer/

Thanks again Rosie
Tried that, searching whole county sounds great, but, it came up with an error.
I might try again tomorrow, nodding off nearly.

P.S. The Phillimores Atlas is great for showing parishes in the Counties.

Hi Rosie,
Finally found a computer that would allow County wide search - no joy.
