Just as a matter of interest, there is a standard Fee charged in Ireland, for the Rector's time supervising a search, Searches up to one hour €20 / Stg£12 For each additional hour or part of an hour Euro 20 / Sterling £12. Below is an email I got and the search in C of E was £28.. so just wondering if there is a standard charge in C of E Churches, anyone know?? DH ------------------------------- Dear Mr Hall I could search the ***** Parish Records for a fee of £28 per hour (or part thereof). However I think it likely the records of that age will already be with Suffolk County Records. Best wishes, Revd XXX XXXXXXXX

Dave I knew the cost of living index rises BUT looks like the cost of a search is going skywards. Have you tried www.freebmd.org ? or www.freecen.org for england and wales transcriptions. Also look to see if those Parish Records have been transcribed. It'd be cheaper to take a weeks sub to FMP World.

There is also freereg.org.uk which has records that are pre-mandatory registration.
