As Far as I am aware most of the Parish registers in P&WDRO have been filmed by FMP, but not all are yet online. The only people who know what is online and what is not will be FMP. I say most because there are I believe a small number of parishes who refused to have registers filmed (as is their right) I can tell you that it takes a very long time for stuff to appear on FMP from the time it is sent in.

This is what the DRO told me last week: "We do not have any information on the likely date for our parish registers to be indexed and available to search online on the FMP website - we understand that indexing is taking place, but have not been advised as to when this will be completed, I'm afraid. Our best guess is that this process will take a year or so."
