Jill, There are transcripts available online for Ilchester: FreeREG has some early ones (with gaps) : http://www.freereg.org.uk/ check the coverage Internet archive has a copy of the Phillimore Marriages: http://archive.org/stream/somersetparishre03phil/somersetparishre03phil_djvu .txt best to select the 'See other Formats' and go for the PDF version which is very readable IGI is worth a try Based on what you find it will give you a good idea what fiche to order if that's the way you want to go. Always worth trying GOOGLE, sometimes you can get some great results. Hope that helps. Bob Hills OPC Marnhull (Dorset) ------------------------------- Good Morning can anyone please tell me if there is an actual [real] Ilchester Parish Record. I am looking for records for the 1600s. I can get access to these anywhere in Somerset?
