Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries. Digital images of many Norfolk parish registers, 1538-c. 1900, are available online on the following websites: Find my Past, Ancestry, The Genealogist and FamilySearch (on the latter site, use the browse by location options to find 'England, Norfolk Parish Registers, 1538-1900'). To find parish registers and other records in the NRO catalogue, see http://nrocatalogue.norfolk.gov.uk/index.php/set-search-parish-records. Modern Transcripts and Indexes These include both published and unpublished transcripts in printed, typescript, manuscript, microfilm and CD formats. Many are available on open shelves in the searchroom, and the printed transcripts may also be available through libraries. The dates given for transcripts sometimes predate those of the earliest surviving parish register. Usually this is because the transcriber Norfolk Record Office©2001, 2006 Last saved on: 16 August 2021 has included information from register bills which may survive from an earlier date. Archdeacons' and Bishop's Transcripts (Register Bills) These are copies of parish registers made annually by each incumbent: most are available on microfiche, the remainder are available on microfilm. The dates of the transcripts in this list are covering dates only and conceal large gaps, particularly before 1725 and after 1837.
