    1. [OXF] Viewing Original Parish Registers
    2. Chris Wake
    3. Hi, Can someone tell me if it is possible, and if so how, to view the original parish register documents ? I am hoping that the Northmoor PR has a mistake in it in and that the original might be illegible for the entry I'm concerned with and the transcriber made a "best guess" at it. Therefore, I'm hoping to somehow view the original so that I might solve one of my dead ends. I'm hoping a WEALE can become a WEAKE !!!!! Many thanks Chris

At the moment the Record Office in Cowley, housing the orginal registers if deposited, is closed for building works. As you are querying an OFHS transcript, I am happy to investigate such when the Office reopens (as Oxfordshire History Centre), hopefully in June 2011, and take a photo for you. If you give me the reference, I'll add it to my list! Wendy Chairman, Oxfordshire FHS
