Instructions

1. Open the Task List and place your name next to the parish you want to edit. Click on the link and go to the parish page.



2. We will be making the following changes to the page:




3. Click on the Edit Source button next to Resources



4. Copy and paste the following code directly below the heading:



=== Find Neighboring Parishes ===

Use [https://www.familysearch.org/mapp/ England Jurisdictions 1851 Map]
::*Type the name of the parish in the ''search bar''
::*Click on the location ''pin'' on the map
::*Choose ''Options'' from the pop up box
::*Click "List Contiguous Parishes" to find the neighboring parishes<br>



5. Scroll down to the ===Church Records=== heading. Delete everything under that heading. Stop when you get to the ===Census Records=== heading.



6. If there are any dates under the Non-Conformists Records section that look like this:

   Non-Conformist Records

   • 1810-1987 Wiltshire, England, Non-Conformist Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1810-1987 at Ancestry ($); index & images (dates may vary by parish)
     

   Make sure to leave the information and only update the header.
   
   

   • Or if it looks like this:

   Non-Conformist Churches

   Aldridge Wesleyan Methodist Chapel parish registers of christenings, marriages and burials are available online for the following years
   

   WESLEYAN METHODIST CHAPEL (1852) Online Records
   	Baptisms		Marriages		Burials
   	Indexes	Images	Indexes	Images	Indexes	Images
   FREG	1852-1961

   Deposited parish registers at Walsall Local History Centre.
   
   Make sure to leave the table and only update the header

   • Please leave a note for me in the comments section, which states, "table in non-conformist section". Then I can notate it to be fixed/removed in a future project.
     
     

   The updated Non-Conformists section should look like this.

   Non-Conformists (All other Religions)

   • 1810-1987 Wiltshire, England, Non-Conformist Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1810-1987 at Ancestry ($); index & images (dates may vary by parish)
     
     
   • Or like this:

   WESLEYAN METHODIST CHAPEL (1852) Online Records

   	Indexes	Images	Indexes	Images	Indexes	Images
   FREG	1852-1961

   Deposited parish registers at Walsall Local History Centre.
   
   

7. Copy and paste the following code under the ===Church Records=== heading where you just deleted the previous code.



''The Church of England'' (Anglican) became the official state religion in 1534, with the reigning monarch as its Supreme Governor. <br>
''Non-Conformist'' refers to all other religious denominations that are not the official state religion.
