Hello Judith The website that will give you the most help when researching Cheshire ancestors is the Findmypast site. It shows all the existing original registers, wills and probate records, electoral rolls, land tax assessments, censuses etc. etc ad infinitum.  You can literally turn the pages of each register as though you are reading a book.  I stand to be corrected but as far as I know it’s not possible to do this on any other website.  But there is a cost to this.  Ideally, i.e. for the best value, you need to take out a subscription for the whole year so that you obtain the most benefits.  A year’s subscription costs the equivalent of a little less than £2.00 per week. See www.findmypast.co.uk/ But other packages are available.  There is a free weekend right now, starting today, and also a regular, but once only, 14 day free trial. Another very useful website, although not complete - and is a transcription site only (no originals), is this:  http://cgi.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/   It’s a voluntary project being developed under the auspices of Liverpool University.   It’s a transcription of BMD parish registers in Cheshire and when complete should cover all those surviving.  The work that has been done so far is 99.95% reliable - or as near as dammit is to swearing -and it’s free.  The parish of Weaverham’s records have been DONE whilst the parish of Great Budworth are still a work in progress. Sadly, John s/o John & Esther Brooks bap 17 Sep 1735 was buried on 20 Sep 1735 both in Weaverham. HTH. Ruth
