The chances are that registers that recent will still be with the church. You could ring the church to find out whether they are available for viewing or not. Richard

I was in my local liabary yesterday and looked at the record of my wedding in 1968 but the copy of my mothers wedding in 1942 was not listed. Some records at this level are patchy but I was told that it would be available at the county records office. You will have to find out where your's is mine in Leicestershire is at Wigston. Good Luck Frances.

Could someone please tell me if you can view Parish registers for the 1950's now or is there a time set before they can be viewed, as i would like to check on a baptism. Thanks, Joan
