http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Register_OfficeAncestry has some parish records, and freebmd.org.uk has an offshoot which has some and sometimes people have transcribed specific parishes and put them online. But County Archives and local libraries are the more likely source. I think i maybe stupid! or possibly suffering brain fade this morning. I'm looking to trace a woman called Mary Lilley born abt 1824 in Measham, Derbyshire but don't know where to find the source that may have this information?

http://www.leics.gov.uk/index/community/recordoffice.htmRead the different pages - useful stuff in general to know if you haven't looked in any county archives before.

Had a quick read through and to be honest i don't think i'm ever going to get it,all looks like gobbledygook to me. Why can i not understand it can't be difficult.

Trying to understand this!
Would i have to go to the office to find out the records i need?
Can't see any way of checking on the local authority website.
