KEY (with link to Key by Parishes page)

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Z

* = a first name, or a surname used as a first name.
The names of public houses/taverns are printed in bold.
Take note of the number(s) with the name in which you are interested and then refer to the 'KEY' page (link above) to identify the register(s).  For ease of reference print off the two 'key' pages.
Sometimes it can be useful to list the parishes where a surname occurs to see if it clusters in a particular area, or areas.
Alternatively, by using the 'key by parishes' page, you can find the reference number for the register in which you are interested before going to any particular surname.   If the number is not with the surname then the surname does not occur in that register;
if it is there but there are no forenames with it let me know and I will put them in.
