Emmison's Parish Transcripts for Odell, Milton Ernest and Bolnhurst

[Ouse who]

Apologies if this has been posted previously.

F G Emmison's Bedford County Record Office publication from 1936 can be found on this link to archive.org.

Apart from Baptism, Marriage and Burial transcripts for Odell 1602-1812, Milton Ernest 1538-1812 and Bolnhurst 1602-1812 Emmison has added notes, observations and corrections which are worth a read.

Ouse who.

This is from the University of Florida's library, they also have more volumes containing other parishes

Thank you for starting this post Ouse Who - Bolnhurst records much appreciated.

Thanks John for the other parishes, just off to find Keysoe (if they are included)

Rosie....

There are only the first 44 volumes produced by Dr Emmison between 1931 & 1953. After a gap of 25 years the remaining parishes were transcribed in volumes 45 - 80 & published between 1977 & 1992.

Keysoe is volume 60 so not included here.

However I do have that volume at home, so if you want a look up then suggest you start a new thread.

Thank you for the information on Keysoe.  I was only hoping that they would be there in case I ever wanted to browse them.  I have spotted a couple of other parishes on there that may be worth trawling in the near future though so many thanks for the link.

Came across this via google when was looking for something else - http://www.rootschat.com/links/01h1k/ - looks promising for anyone with research interests in Bedfordshire.

That's interesting     It will be nice to get the images online

Yes, but it's not been revealed which collections are being digitised, so it may not be the parish registers. John has been in touch with BARS but it's a case of wait and see!

I'd be surprised if it wasn't parish registers, but who knows.   I came across a similar advert a while back for Gloucester and the PRs did eventually appear so fingers crossed.
