FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject England Parish Tables: Durham Part 1

Project Leader
Becca Curtis

Purpose
To fix and/or add outdated tables on each parish page in Durham, England. The few already-existing tables are missing important databases. The majority of parish pages are missing a table entirely. The first part of this project will be pasting a new table onto the page.

Task List

Instructions
1. Go to the parish page (links are on the Task List) and find the "Church records" heading. Click "Edit source" next to the heading.
 * The top of this section has this heading: ====Church records====
 * Near the bottom of this section is another heading: ===== Non Conformist Churches =====

2. Delete everything between the "Church records" and "Non Conformist Churches" headings.
 * Example of what the code may look like:


 * Durham part 1 img 1.png

3. Paste the following code into the empty space between the two headings. PARISH NAME parish registers of christenings, marriages and burials are available online for the following years:

To find the names of the neighboring parishes, use England Jurisdictions 1851 Map. In this site, search for the name of the parish, click on the location "pin", click Options and click List contiguous parishes.

Records are also available at the Durham County Record Office.

4. Add the actual parish name where it says "PARISH NAME" (found twice near the top of the newly-inserted code). Do not put the parish in all caps. (For example: Abington Piggots not ABINGTON PIGGOTS)

5. Put "Adding more complete online church records table" in the Summary box and then click "Save page."

If More Than 1 Table
If there is more than 1 table on the page, make a note in the comments and then leave it. I will go through and add updated church records tables to pages with more than 1 table.

Finished Examples
See these wiki pages for a final example of what the table will look like:
 * Auckland St Andrew, Durham Genealogy
 * Aycliffe, Durham Genealogy
