Hi, Hoping someone can think of a solution to my problem. I am trying to purchase parish records pre1837 from Wiltshire. I am living in Australia but have joined the Wiltshire Family History Soc. and was able to purchase some. The problem is, two of the other parishes I require they have not transcribed yet, and advised me to go to the Wiltshire and Swindon archives who have the records. My problem is they don't have a secure web site for paying and require sterling. A bank cheque from here will add an extra $25. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I always use credit cards for paying on the internet

(not sure if this helps, but the above parishes were added on FMP on the 14/4/2011, it says)

Do you have a Latter Day Saints Family History Centre near to you? You can find the addresses on the website www.familysearch.org

They will order parish records on film for you for just a few pounds and they keep the records for about a month to give you chance to view them.
