Another way to find online transcriptions of non-parochial church registers is to Google the following search terms: "Baptisms" (or "marriages" or "Burials" or "cemeteries"); [place] "name" (can be just name of county or the parish) and "index". There are a number of websites which hold baptisms and marriages especially, for a significant number of Nonconformist and Presbyterian church denominations for more local areas. | |||
