    Default Parish Records

    Can any one tell me how to buy a Birth Certificate from the Parish Records or how to look up Marriages on Parish Records. After all this time I have found Thomas Langhorn's 1816 born Bloomsbury father from Thomas 1816 Marriage Certificate to Amelia Mattocks 1846, he also is Thomas Langhorn but he is a Coach Builder. But can not find the marriage to work out who Thomas 1816 mother is.Liz Hutchison

    Hi Liz,



    Certificates did not start until Sep 1837 , so if it is Thomas 1816 that you are after you will not be able to purchase it.

    Parish records can be viewed at the relevant records office or main library. Some parishes are available in the links and tips forum.



    Also watch out for anyone visiting :-

    Liz, if you are anywhere near a branch of the LDS Family History Centres (check on the net for your nearest), they should be able to get hold of the relative parish records on microfilm. The fee is around £2.00 and they will hold it for you for a month, renewable for 2 weeks I think. After that, it's a matter of going through the film until you find the entry you want. I think that they still charge 10p or so to print out a copy for you. Worth a try anyway.

    Yes when I joined up I put the wrong flag on my Profile I live in Australia. So its a bit hard to have a look at the Parish Records unless I can view them in Australia.LIz

    The LDS is all over the world, so you'll get their Family History Centres in Australia also. Films, etc, come from their main centre in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the USA, so getting hold of them is as easy as getting them here. Try looking on their main web site; that will tell you the nearest one to you. I'd be very surprised if there isn't one located relatively close to you. The LDS, by the way, is the Mormon church. Try looking anyway.

    Liz, I've checked on Ancestry, and found a Thomas Langhorn born approx 1780 in Bloomsbury. No spouse name given, unfortunately. Does this help you at all ??

    The London Metropolitan Archives have recently put a number of parish records on line, on Ancestry. Just thought that I'd mention it.
