Thanks for all the brouhaha over copywriting. It alerted me to the existence of Archive CD Books from which I just ordered 30BP of CD's. You would not believe how difficult it is to find original sources about small parishes such as Witton, Darwen, Kirkham, etc. on this side of the Atlantic. Hopefully the CDs I ordered will give me a little more information about these small villages. I know my family was in the UK in 1851, but I cannot locate them in the 1851 census. Were a lot of families overlooked? Were some just too poor to be counted? As an Episcopalian, I understand and agree with the sacramental reasons for not allowing baptismal and marriage records to be microfilmed and published. I understand this is the position of the position of the Bishop of Lancashire. My own parish bans it also. I am researching the names of Ormerod, Kirkham and Woodhead in the Witton, Kirkham, Darwen, Blackpool area. Thanks Kent Kirkham Springfield, Illinois, USA
