How to search the listings.

Where relevant, the dates of the records we hold are noted. Please note that the reference number after the place name is the library catalogue number, which you can use for reference if requesting a search in a particular record or if visiting in person.

How to use the search facility

2. Then enter the name of the parish or word you wish to search for in the search box and click on “find next”. The first relevant entry will be highlighted for you in the main text.

3. To find the next relevant entry you can repeat the process by clicking “Find next” again.
