Hi all I am indebted to Carol Thomas for reminding me of this facility which commenced in 2000. The online parish registers clerks are not clerks of the original parish, but are folk of today who take on the responsibility of a certain parish and make available transcriptions, downloads, etc. for that parish. Unfortunately Shropshire is not yet among these, but knowing how our folk spread far and wide, these websites for online parish clerks may be useful to some.
