I know this thread is really about church parishes but in England a 'civil parish' is an administrative subdivision below county and distinct. Hence, a civil parish should always be recorded. I'm ambivalent about church parishes, having come from a long line of atheists who probably didn't care (at least since civil registrations were introduced). Tony Proctor
