 :Our holdings, which include '''parish registers, diaries, letters, court records, wartime records, manorial records and school records,''' take up nearly 8 miles of shelving, making us one of the largest county archives in England.
+*[https://www.essexarchivesonline.co.uk/ParishRegisters.aspx Parish registers]<br>
+::The Essex Record Office (ERO) holds registers from over 400 parishes, covering the present county of Essex, including Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock, and also those parts of north-east London that used to be in Essex. Most parishes have registers from the 17th or 18th century onwards, but some go back to 1538.
+Essex Archives Online includes images of all registers of baptisms, marriages and burials that have been deposited either in the ERO or with our partners at Waltham Forest Archives.  It excludes only baptism registers less than 16 years old and marriage registers from after 1957.
