I found out yesterday that my 5xg-grandfather Robert Bristow was buried in Bletchingley, Surrey in 1816, age 83. I already had his will which described him as a gentleman of Bletchingley, but his son had to testify that he was the same Robert Bristow who was an oil cooper of Three Oak Lane, Horsleydown (London) so the will could be proved. I've never really been able to work out what the connection with Bletchingley was before I found out he was buried there. But now I want to find out whether any other Bristows were buried in Bletchingley, and apart from going to Surrey to look at the parish registers, I can't see a way on either FindMyPast or Family History Online to specify which parish's burials I want to search, only which county. Is there a way that I'm missing? When FindMyPast first had the London burials online, I'm sure you used to be able to specify the parish but that facility seems to have gone now that the other counties are included too.

There are no Bletchingley entries on FreeREG and there is no Surrey OPC site as far as I know. I looked at the list of parishes transcribed by Surrey FHS yesterday but it didn't look as though Bletchingley was included. But thanks for the suggestions.KiteRunner
