I have Parish Locator on my desktop also, it is a very useful thing to have, especially when you cant find who you are looking for are branching out from one particular place, gives distance to a tenth of a mile so you can then search for churches in other places. Thanks for putting this up though and reminding me about it.

Stirrup, Williams, Winter, Newton, Johnson, Barrett, Bruce, Bruen, Hartley, Proffit, Rogers, all in Manchester and loads of other names and places

It enables you to locate any one of over 15,000 UK parishes. It will produce a list of parishes in any County or a list of parishes within a given radius of any other parish and also allows Import and Export via csv files. It is possible to plot the location of parishes to either the screen or the printer. The parishes listed were those in existence at some during the period from the mid 1500s to about 1837 when civil registration started.


Hope it helps someone.
