Thanks for the tip. That got me straight to a baptism I have been hunting for 5 years

I've just found the burial details of my 3x great grandmother in  Willenhall in 1845. I've been looking for her for quite a few years*  - no death cert ever found.

* a cousin in New Jersey had spent a good deal of time looking through the films for Willenhall and didn't find her either - sadly, he died 7 years ago

2.8 million I gather. Someone sent me a list of what's been put on. I must admit tempted. I was told they've been done from the microfische as opposed to registers. I've already got ancestry subscription and as I can go and look up the st Editha ones anyway next time I go to the record office I may not bother. What I did hear was that certain parish churches were not being put on, I think though that is the ones that are n't kept at the record office and no non conformist.

I put in Stoke as a keyword in Staffordshire baptisms - no names entered and got 1961 results.

ditto with marriages - 14357 results.

ditto with burials  - 1309 results.

Not tried the individual towns.

Burslem St. John  baptisms 1640-1901  Burslem St. Paul bapt I think to 1901. There are some banns as well.

The few I have viewed are 'copies' of registers.

Interesting because that what I thought was supposed to be happening. The bit on the find my past site says black and white digital copies from microfilm and some colour ones will be coming later.
