If you're looking for family in England, and you are researching earlier 1837,
parish records are one of the 'core' records to be consulting, but accessibility
hasn't always been the easiest. Finally we are now seeing some of these parish
records scanned and made accessible on CD.
The parish registers for St Mary's church in Stockport, Cheshire are covered by this CD. Birth, marriages and burials for the period 1584-1619 are all listed.
Note: When you get back beyond 1752 in England, remember that dates on
records and documents will be in the Julian calendar, not the current Gregorian.
Officially the Gregorian calendar was introduced in October 1582, but the
changeover was slow, and England did not adopt this calendar until September
1752.
The CD contains digitally enhanced images of the whole of the original book,
which is fully searchable, bookmarked, and is printable.
Please read carefully: If the CDs are for use in a Society, Group or
Public Library you will need a library licence, this price is five times the
full retail price. You will then be issued with a library certificate for the
product. The publishers terms do not allow users to publish their products or
extracts on the internet. Also terms also exclude using these products to
provide a lookup service, or the reselling of the disk.
