Wiltshire Online Parish Clerks[edit | edit source]
- The county of Wiltshire is divided into many parishes with some containing more than one church.
- The term parish is used to describe both a Civil Parish and an Ecclesiastical parish, however these don't necesarily have the same boundaries.
- Our aim is to eventually have an OPC for each Parish.
- Some OPCs take on a few parishes as their own ancestry is spread across them.
- Most of the records have been transcribed by only one person and there may be transcription errors.
- Use these records as a starting point and always check with an original source for confirmation.

Nonconformists[edit | edit source]
Wiltshire county-wide indexes of most nonconformist marriages from 1837-1933 have been compiled by the Wiltshire Family History Society, and these are available for sale on CD-ROM, with over 20,000 marriages from nonconformist chapels and registrar offices throughout the county!
