The freereg (parish registers) project is well under way now and so worth checking. I have found lots of records for my Norfolk people. Have a look - and they are appealing for more volunteers to help transcribe. |

A great site - but not if you want Shropshire or Staffordshire! |

There are already some Staffordshire records on there, Liz, but it doesn't cover the whole county yet. |

Brilliant for Norfolk :) Liz, you could always volunteer to do your parishes of choice? |

Think the contact for Staffs must be out of date - tried to volunteer twice but never got any response. Now doing BMD transcriptions. |

There is also the Freecen website which is transcribing census info for free. |
