Drayton Beauchamp parish records

[Kells]

I have been searching for years, in vain, for the family of Sarah Mead, who was born circa 1775 at Drayton Beauchamp, as appears consistently in census records as her birthplace. I think she may fit with the family of Edmund and Elizabeth Mead, who had two children baptised in Drayton in 1772 and 1783. They had a daughter Sarah baptised in 1779 at Buckland, a short distance from Drayton. One son, Michael, later lived in Aylesbury, where Sarah settled with her husband, so I think I am on the right path. Elizabeth Mead died in 1801 and was buried at Drayton. I have only managed to find the baptisms of the three children through Find My Past indexes, as records don't exist anywhere else. I am willing to subscribe to anything which has Buckinghamshire parish registers but none of the internet resources include Drayton. My only option appears to be a research service through the Buckinghamshire Record Office, which is very expensive per look-up, and I don't have dates for anyone aside from these baptisms. I'm not sure where Edmund and Elizabeth originated, which makes it hard to put together the missing pieces of this family.

Any advice or assistance to find information without spending a fortune would be most welcome!

Have you tried Bucks FHS:

Where you can get a

£3 for all the Mead entries could be money well spent!

That sounds quite reasonable. I shall investigate that option! Many thanks

familysearch.org have the Bishop's Transcripts. They are digitised, but can only be viewed at an LDS library or associate library, and not at home as many films can be.
If you could get to one of those, you could browse the whole film. (My local city library is classed as an 'affiliate library'. You could try your local library).
Film number 8902085, items 4 & 5, so it doesn't sound as though it's a huge film to wade through.

Thank you, there is a Family History Centre in my area, though their opening hours conflict with my work times, that is an excellent option.
