Hi Lin According to the HuntsFHS site the only fiche produced for St Neots (St Mary) - Church of England - is the burial register transcript 1604-1900. They also produce alphabetical marriage transcripts for Hunts, but these cover the whole of the county. If you've managed to find other than these I for one would be most interested!

Yes, thats right, the marriage registers are available on fiche, and burials The 1841 census for St. Neots is availale on fiche also. When I was desperate, I filled in an online request to Huntingdonshire Records Office, which they did more or less the same day. Its £12 per half hour, but the results I got were well worth it.
