Hi just thought that as you have been so helpful that I would post part of an email I got from Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Archive Services after mailing them with regards to parish records |

Churches only keep their record books until they are full. They are then passed to the local archives. |

Records for the dates you are researching will not be held at the Churches.........and some of the Churches may no longer even exist |

Why not ask at your local church. The main library too may be able to advise you. Is there also a main records office in the area. Lots of parish records etc are at the local records offices |

I have come back to the present in my tree and have filtered out parents,grandparents basically all those I have been able to get birth/marriage/death certs for, what I am trying to do now is to get more info one rels born before 1837 and what I was thinking about doing is to go to the churches I know my rels were married at and get more info that way, what do you guys think, also who do I contact to get permission to look at the relevant churches records and I've no doubt there will be a charge. I live in Stoke-on-Trent and all the churches are in the same area (Stoke-on-Trent). |
