Hi Graham, I don't think you can go past hiring in the original film at your local Latter Day Saints Family History Library. Sometimes you have to travel a little way to get to your closest one and you have to wait until it arrives there, but the film stays put for three months, so you have plenty of time to go back and forth if you run out of time in a session. Over nearly 34 years I have done this many times for my main lines. Have ordered in Bishops Transcripts and parish Records etc as there are many other film types available for particular Parishes. Family search may not have the IGI or anything online for your Parish, but by going into the Library Catalogue part of Family Search you can see if your Parish has been filmed and what type of records, ie Census, School records etc etc, jot down the Reference number to the film and go to the order films page, I think it is around $7.50 where I live and you pay online and then your Latter Day Saints library will get in touch when t! he film has arrived. You dont have to be a member of the church. It is time consuming but well worth the effort.

Those of us that have been tracing ancestry over a period of time, have literally done to death post 1837. Its pre 1837 that is still an interest but records pre this date are not always in existence.
