My interest is Windrush,Gloucestershire 1700. do you have anything in this area

I was hoping to see a transcript of Somerford Keynes, Glos.
It is proving elusive.

I wish there was an easy way of seeing which time periods were covered for which parishes. Not just a pdf file listing the names of the parishes for which something has been added. I don’t know if its one marriage, or all marriages for which period. A listing of county, parish, and specific dates covered, including any major gaps in the records. As opposed to this lucky dip see if they are there, if they are not there you don’t know what it means because you don’t know what is covered. Yes, I think this is a great resource, but it would be much better if I knew exactly what I was searching.

Wholeheartedly agree with Pauls comments!

I was excited to see that some records from Cumberland have been added. Let’s hope Cumberland record holders follow suit and actively participate and contribute additional records!

I am searching for the name of Gorrod/Gorrad/Garrod. They were mainly born in Shimpling NORFOLK and married in St Georges in Shimpling NORFOLK. There is also a St Georges in Shimpling SUFFOLK. When St Georges in Shimpling NORFOLK was closed, all records for both Churches were taken to Norwich Archives, and yes,stored together as one archive
there are very few records available for St Georges NORFOLK,and it is virtualy impossible to get any christning or marriage details from around 1700 to around 1870, could anybody advise please. As I live in Kent it is rather a trek to keep going to Norwich on the off chance
