The database is called [https://www.ancestry.com.au/search/collections/61177/ Sydney, Australia, Anglican Parish Registers, 1814-2011.]

::Ancestry has indexed the registers, so you can search for entries via the name search function. Or you can flick through the pages of each register, viewing high quality photographic images of each page. This is a continuous process. So far, some 1646 registers have been digitised, and there are nearly 1.5 million records from our registers available on Ancestry. The types of registers which have been digitised include: Baptism Registers; Banns Registers; Burial Registers; Composite Registers (single volumes containing records of baptisms, marriages & burials); Confirmation Registers; Marriage Declaration Registers; and, Marriage Registers. We are sending more registers to be digitised for Ancestry every year.<ref name=SDA>"Information for Family Historians and Genealogists," at Sydney Diocesan Archives, http://www.sydneyanglicanarchives.com.au/genealogists.html, accessed 4 February 2022.</ref>
