This page is the gateway to the data files for each of the 404 parishes.

The files are arranged by county. To go to the data for the parishes in a particular county, click on the county name in the menu above or in the list. Each parish has two files: an Excel file with the data on baptisms, marriages and burials, and a .txt Characteristics file.

For a description of the contents of each file, and some suggestions for analysis, see R.S. Schofield and A. Hinde, Parish Register Aggregate Analyses, 2nd edn (Southampton, 2020), which may be downloaded from here.
