I "sort of" know the difference between parish records and Bishops transcipts, but not sure.
I'm going to start doing some transcibing for Lancs OPC. I wanted to do Hawkshead as I know my David Kirkby was born there about 1730. His sister's birth is listed there as 1727.
However I've been told all the Hawkshead ones are done so the lady looked at Blawith (a close parish) and found some of the family there, so I've offered to do that parish.
Again, however, they've told me there are only Bishops' transcipts available. To my understanding the BTs are rewritten PRs.
Is there anything else I should know??
