Jane Ferentzi-Sheppard tells us where to find parish records, when they started and what they look like. They record Baptisms, Burials and Marriages and Parish chests can include vestry minutes, rate books, removal and settlement orders, bastardy bonds etc. giving a much wider picture of what was happening in the Parish. Annual membership £10, guest entry £2 per talk. Places are limited – please arrive early to ensure you can get a seat. For more info please phone 07747 636810.
