There's a thread on this board with a list of online parish records - I'll nudge it up to the top of the page for you.

Depending which county you are researching, the British Isle Vital Records Index can be useful. Plenty of people on the these boards will do lookups for you.

It is not free but familyhistory-online only charge about 10p each for a record. Rootschat which is free to join has lists of local resources organised by county. The moderator of the Somerset board which is the one I am interested in is compiling a list of on-line parish records. Genuki also has lists of local records. It is also worth googling the parish as many have their own websites.

Lancashire on-line parish clerk: www(.)lan-opc(.)org.uk click on Parishes in Lancashire,the towns with 2 red roses have parish records I think Genuki gives some links and if you go on UK bmd,select the county you want and scroll down ,there are some links there too
