Staffordshire Parish Registers - findmypast

[Margaret in Burton]

Only Holy Trinity and St Modwens are on for Burton but there is loads more at the library on fiche. Even more at Stafford.

I need to focus on my kitchen before I can get back to my Staffs research!

I was only commenting yesterday that I want the baptisms and here they are. Now I just want them to go up to 1920, or at least 1914.

My grandma was one of 12 children, I think they lived at the same address for many years but I have only been able to find 4 baptisms of the 12 when I hired the film years ago. I know when they were born but would love to find out the baptisms.

oh well, plenty of more distant people to research.

'Staffordshire Collection' Digitisation Project

Phase 1 of the 'Staffordshire Collection' Digitisation Project, went live on 16 July 2014 on the Findmypast website. Phase 1 consists of over 1,800 parish registers, containing 2.8 million names. Phase 2 will be the remainder of the parish registers. Subsequent phases will cover Diocese of Lichfield wills and inventories, and marriage bonds and allegations.

Access to the 'Staffordshire Collection' on Findmypast will be free in archives and libraries in Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent. "

If I wait long enough, I won't need to order a will for OH's family - it will appear on FMP!

Does it give any indication to when Phase 2 goes live Elizabeth? If its ages away I will still order that will of John Carter but if its going to be soon, then I might as well wait for it to come online and use my FMP sub

I can't see any mention of the time scale, Claire. Fingers crossed it won't be too long.

It will almost certainly be just pre-1858 wills, Claire. John Cutler's will was 1868 so won't be included. Or is John Carter a different person?

[BlueSavannah]

Sorry Kite, another typo on my part. I meant to write John Cutler. I also have a Carter line which I am doing a lot of work on at moment so I wrote Carter due to habit

Thanks for that. I will send off for John's will

How annoying, I've spent a fortune on wills and marriage bonds from Lichfield

[Kit]

Very exciting for me. Hurry up phase 2. There is one marriage I really want and it must be in phase 2.

For now though I am happily working on new lines as I've filled in gaps and gone back 2 generations on one branch so far.
