	And do a google search as there are SOME parish records on line - and Online Parish Clerks for some counties. Dont forget freereg which is being transcribed by volunteers (similar to freebmd) and is a wonderful resource. Ancestry.co.uk also has SOME parish records.

If you are in London, it's worth looking on the SOG catalogue, as some parish records are available there. Some parish records are available on CD ROM too. Some are on the IGI (Familysearch.org) If it's Kent, look on CityArk
