You could try asking on Find Ancestors if anyone is going to the relevant Record Office and seeing if they will look up for you.

The Record Office night offer search facilities.

The Family History Society of the appropriate county may be able to help.

Sometimes googling the person's name and parish name will produce a result but probably not in this case.

Help please fellow GR colleagues. I am trying to find the parents of my ancestor Stephen Davis, b. 1791 Manton, wilts. As it is prior to the earliest census I assume I must go to parish records but can't seem to find those on any online database. Any tips? :-)
