Most of our Church of England parish registers 1538 to 1987 (baptisms to 1912, marriages to 1937 and burials to 1987) are now available to search and view online on and . More parish registers from 1900 onwards, recently deposited registers and more early registers will be added later. Ancestry and Findmypast can be used free of charge by 妖精动漫 Libraries members in all 妖精动漫 Libraries and at 妖精动漫 History Centre.
妖精动漫 parishes lie in three different dioceses: Guildford, Southwark and London.
Parish records from the Diocese of Guildford (which includes a small part of Hampshire) and from a large part of the Diocese of Southwark (all except the South London and Sutton section) are the responsibility of 妖精动漫 History Centre. To protect the original registers, searchers are normally required to use microfilms or transcripts when these are available. Print-out facilities are available. Short, specific queries can be answered by letter or e-mail. Before you visit, please contact us to confirm that the parish records you are interested in have been deposited, as they may be still at the parish.
