If
you are relying on the internet - this is a list of the most practical
sites to start your research.
Always work from the known backwards
(i.e you first / then your parents / grandparents and so forth)
http://www.1837online.com
You can find anyone’s birth/marriage/death registration details
from 1837
(even your own details will be on it) It costs about £5.00
for 50' ish searches.
A very useful site if you are looking for grandparent names
after 1901
but might take quite a bit on money to find them!!

Parish

1800's
