Parish records in LDS

[ozgirl]

Would an LDS centre be likely to have the parish records for counties, or would I have to go to the county itself to look up - I'm trying to find information from Ropley in Hampshire.

They tend not to have burial records, I believe, because they aren't relevant to them for the purpose for which they gather such information.

Have you looked on Knightroots - the Hampshire OPC site?

Thanks Christine, yes I've checked out Knightroots and they don't have anything on Ropley.

Thanks, have to work out how to do that then! Will give them a ring.

I edited my post above to add another link that explains about ordering. :smilee:

Depends what you are looking for. The LDS centre in London has lots of parish registers with the baptisms, banns, marriages and burials all on the same microfilm in earlier years. Later records tend to have the registers separately.

After seeing Cloggie's post, I was about to add that anything starting as early as C16th would be likely to include burials.

I've got some Ropley BMDs from 1780 to 1812 if you want me to look for anything.

Hi Wendy, thanks for the offer. I'm interested in Norgates in Ropley, of which there are a lot. John Norgate born 1786 married Elizabeth also born ca 1786. I'm trying to find her surname. I have no idea when they married, and you might not have it, as their first and only child was born when they were both at the grand old age of 50! My other query is trying to trace the parents of James Norgate (or Norgett) who was born 1751 and married in November 1780 to Jane Long.

Thanks again,

Linda

Shame Linda that my CD doesn't cover the years you want.
