	Hi Tricia, A Philimore's atlas (on reference at most libraries) will tell you where Parish records are held. The FRC and the SOG in London have copies of some but not all. The LDS have filmed some (so you can order them at an LDS centre for a small fee). But it's very unlikely that you will find all you want under one roof. Gwynne

	I think that i am right in saying that Parish Records are held by each individual county at their own records centres.
