Purpose
To add a more complete and updated church records table on every parish in Essex. The first part of this project will be deleting the old table and pasting the new code.

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. If there is anything between the "Church records" and "Non Conformist Churches" headings, delete it.
 * Example of what the code may look like:

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 Essex Record Office (online records available at Essex Archives Online).

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)
