Hi Jaquie I'm going through an early Ellesmere microfilm at present at the local LDS library, but it is very faded, however (as per my previous mail to you) I am looking out for your Hassalls and your Mary Rogers -- it will take a couple of weeks. If at any time, you wish to view these parish records for yourself, simply book yourself into a local LDS family history library and you can order in as many microfilms of parish records and Bishops transcripts you wish for a very small fee. Here in Oz it is only $5 per film and one gets to look at it for four weeks before it goes back to the central repository in Sydney. These films originally come from Salt Lake City but when viewing is completed they usually return to the major repository in the country they are sent to, so then are available for future viewing. Check out the family history library catalog on the Family Search website at www.familysearch.org by clicking in on "library" on the yellow toolbar at top, then onto the blue bar on the next screen. Go to "place name," and type in Ellesmere, or other, enter - then click on "Ellesmere, Shropshire, England," and then go to "Church Records" -- as you will see there are other options such as taxes. Anyway, the next screen shows you what microfilms are available for Ellesmere. Click on any of these and you will get the details, then click on "view film notes" at the top of the screen and this will give you more details and the number of the microfilm. Cheers Graham Melbourne
