Parish Register Document Index
My Parish Register List by no means contains every event for every surname in every register. At some point in my life of going through parish registers, I got into the habit of extracting most--but not all--events containing my surnames: Bradley, Edgehill, Gill, Harrison, Herrington, Maud, Meggitt, Metcalf, Nelson, Pearson, Shaw, Thornton, and Waslin. I update the Parish Register List as research continues. My acquisition of some of these names is pretty recent, so you will find very few of them in the current Parish Register List.
[Note to Turner researchers: Turns out I don't have a Turner line after all - Turner was a first husband! I'll continue to post Turner probates because I have them, but I'm not researching or posting other Turner data any more. I didn't have much other than the probate indexes anyway...]
