Introduction to the Parish Register Handlist

Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service in its role as Diocesan Record Office holds parish registers for Worcestershire dating from the mid-16th century onwards. The church registers contain record of Baptism, Marriage and Burial service. These records are a major focus of study for family, local and social history, as they contain a wealth of information. As such, much of the information has been copied for ease of access and use. This handlist is a guide to what is currently available in our Self-service area.

What Information does the Handlist provide?

 The name of the village. The Civil and Ancient parishes are often the same but there may have been changes over time.  The name of the church from which the registers originated. This can be useful if there is more than one in a particular parish. For example, in Worcester City there are several parish churches.  The name of the which now encompasses the ancient parish.  Information on what register copies are available on microfilm.  Dates of any transcriptions either in volumes or available on CD. Please see our handlist to parish register transcriptions and our list of CD holdings for further details.  The Notes column provides further information such as where parishes have been formed out of others.

 The registers we hold largely relate to Worcestershire, but as the diocese of Worcester has changed over the centuries we may hold registers from other counties too. Some parishes will return the result 'no information'. This usually means that we do not hold the registers for that parish.

Things to bear in mind if you are having difficulty finding a particular parish

 Parish boundaries are always changing. It may be that the parish you are looking for is now described differently or linked with another, for example, Orleton is now described as Stanford and Orleton.  It may be that a parish which was on the cusp of the county at one point has now been reallocated to another county and therefore the records are not held within the archives.  Please note that although this handlist mainly concerns parishes in Worcestershire we have included information on some other neighbouring parishes.

How to use this handlist

Check the handlist to make sure that the parish registers you require are held by us on microfilm Once you have identified which microfilm you need, the microfilm can be selected from the Self-Service Area. These are sorted in alphabetical order of the name of the town or village. For Worcester City, the films will be indexed under Worcester and then alphabetically by name of parish.

Other Sources

Bishops’ Transcripts

• These are available on microfilm in our Self-Service Area. Please see our handlist to Bishop's Transcripts for further information about Bishops' Transcripts • Every year, until the early twentieth century, the vicar of a parish had to make a copy of his parish registers to send to the bishop. Therefore, the Bishops’ transcripts should be a direct copy of the registers of baptisms, marriages and burials. Although there can be errors these transcripts can be very useful if the parish registers have not survived, are extremely badly damaged or are not held at The Hive.

Glossary

Chapel of ease - A secondary building used for worship in a parish, particularly when the parish was large and it was difficult for parishioners to get to the main church. Most of these were made into parish churches in their own right in the 19th Century.

Chapelry -.A division of a large or highly populated parish which has its own district chapel.

Civil Parish – This is a small administrative district. It is the smallest tier of local government. It can range in size from a large town to a single village, typically having its own church.

Diocese - This is the area under the jurisdiction of a bishop. Please note that the boundaries of the Diocese of Worcester are not necessarily the same as the administrative boundary of Worcester. Also it will have changed many times through its history with the result that records of parishes within the Diocese may be held at other record offices and vice versa.

Ecclesiastical Parish – Units to serve only ecclesiastical roles.
