Hants RO do have the registers, the Parish Register Transcription Society have put the BTs on fiche (now on CD) and HGS have published MIs 1645-1945 on fiche, this includes a plan of the churchyard indicating where the listed headstones were. This fiche also has MIs for the Church of the Ascension, (New) Burghclere, 1829-1987. -- John Lewis Debian (Sid) with the GeneWeb genealogy package

Hi John, Again thanks you for the information, is this where some of the unfound Baptisms, Marriages and Burials have taken place, must buy the microfiche to see what names are on them, they may fill in some of the blanks on my family tree.
