I was trying without success to decifer the Wingerworth Parish Records yesturday as they are far from complete and what is there is virtually unreadable. Can anyone tell me if the BT's are any better please.

having just looked and read a little about Wingerworth understandable the frustration would be evident...   given a vast amount of the records are in latin....

in an effort to assist if you are not aware i have posted the following information so as to give alternatives or full scopes of materials for this place....

You might have more luck if you "Batch Numbers" route onto Familysearch........in case you don't know this......Google "Batch Numbers"...select the first option..then click on England..scroll down to Derbyshire n-z..and click on W..this will bring up Wingerworth......enter your requirements..and although the years are limited..the hard work scrutinizing has been done for you.......

Thank you both for the tips. I'm looking for the Cowlishaw surname and found one by looking very hard with a magnifying glass at the Wingerworth PR film for 1655 and there are two (in 1771 & 1773) that have been transcribed and can be seen on 'Family Search'. I'm convinced there are more in between these dates but unless the BT's are more clear and complete than the PR's then I'm not going to find them.
