Thanks for this. I think your website's just great - found it this afternoon when I was looking on the internet to see if Kings Somborne was a parish or not. Any ideas on why it doesn't seem to be listed as a parish on FamilySearch?

Lindsay, The Mormons have not filmed every parish. Familysearch only lists those parishes which they have filmed. A better guide to the parishes of Hampshire can be found at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/HAM/indexpars.html If you cannot get to the Hampshire Record Office where the original registers are now stored, you can usually buy microfiche of Hampshire Parish registers from the Record Office http://www.hants.gov.uk/record-office/index.html HTH Sandra.
