*'''''What information do Parish Registers hold?:'''''<i> </i>The Parish Register will provide information regarding anyone who was born/baptised, confirmed (after 1737), married or died/buried in that particular parish. Only information relating to the particular religious ceremony in question will be recorded there. For example, for a baptism, you will find the date of birth, date of baptism, name of the child, names, occupation and residence of the parents, and names of sponsors and the godmother. But the entry will not tell you who the child later married, or where she/he died. That information must be found where the events took place.<br>After 1812-14 the registers were kept in forms. Older records may have a more "individual" character. | *'''''What information do Parish Registers hold?:'''''<i> </i>The Parish Register will provide information regarding anyone who was born/baptised, confirmed (after 1737), married or died/buried in that particular parish.
