Has anyone got access to the West Hanney Berkshire registers I'm trying to link George with possible parents James Burgess and Katherine Young. both appear to come from West Hanney so any additional information on them would be good, I think they married in St James the Great West Hanney on 21/11/1711,

kind regards
Judith

You can't link George with James, because George's father was George.

Have you tried www.familysearch.org and www.freereg.org.uk ?
