Is it still in the County of Berkshire? I do not know what area of Faringdon I am looking for either. I am looking for details of possible STRATTON burials in the Parish. Is anything available on-line or has been published. In any case can anyone suggest a Researcher or someone who could do a little research for me? Dear Garry Taking the points made in turn :- 1. Faringdon was in Oxfordshire until the local government re-organisation of 1974, when it became part of Oxfordshire. Please go to _www.ofhs.org.uk_ (http://www.ofhs.org.uk) , and click on the link for "Oxfordshire Parish Maps". From there, you want to download the "Oxfordshire Parish Map", which is free of charge. 2. the parish registers of Faringdon have been transcribed and indexed and are sold on CD by this society. Go to "Transcripts & Indexes sold on CD" from the homepage link given above. 3. what research do you have in mind ? If you simply want details of STRATTON entries from things such as the Oxfordshire Baptism Index, Oxfordshire Marriage Index and Oxfordshire Burial Index, we as a society can provide a search for you for a very modest fee. From the homepage link above, click on "Search Services" for more information. Any queries, please ask again ! Best wishes.
