Hi Dave, I have a copy of the sheet put out by the Somerset Heritage Centre which holds the Mudford historical parish registers - they go back to 1563. Have a look in the FamilySearch catalogue, and you should find the film with all the parish registers for Mudford and order it in to your local LDS FHC. It would also be worth ordering in the film of Bishops Transcripts for Mudford - although not as complete as the parish registers coverage, you may find one easier to read than the other for some periods.
