<br> Parish registers are the christenings or baptisms, marriages, and burials recorded by Anglican church officials at the time of an event. Christening records may state the name of the child, christening date, names of parents, place of residence of the family, and occupation of the father. Rarely is the child's birth date and mother's maiden name recorded. A marriage or burial entry might give an age at the time of the event that could be used to determine the year of birth. If the family's religion is not known, check all church denominations in the area where they lived.
