Jean, The site I was on was www.bmdregisters.co.uk Someone suggested to me the A2A Access to Archives site, but I can't seem to find the same information - pre 1537 nonconformist baptisms, marriages etc., there. Apparently the bmdregisters site is still under development. It looks like it will be packed with information. The problem is the price for looking at the actual document on line. So, what I want to know is can these documents be accessed from somewhere like the NLW or the Family History Centre, (which is closing down). If they are available on the A2A site, I can't seem to figure out how to find them.

The bubble was burst when I realized it would cost me $5 a hit to look at the records.
