Talk:England, Sussex, Parish Registers - FamilySearch Historical Records

Henry995 It would be helpful to indicate the content of the collection in view of the size of the county and diocese and the extent to which the collection will cover the diocesan parishes. Are the Bishop's transcripts to be published?

Parish pages for the intended publication are in progress hopefully in time for publication. Lewes Poor Law Union, Sussex and parishes are already available.

CliveJ Chichester Poor Law Union, Sussex parishes available PR and BT's are included in Church Records section for most parishes

Henry995 Uckfield Parish church has BT's only we believe- refer to the Library catalogue and you show no parish registers but several typed transcripts which presumably are not intended for publication online. Uckfield has only IGI non-conformist batches we believe. This suggests either omission from the Catalogue or you have BT's in the films for conversion ( unless the other typed transcripts are permitted for online publication) There are other examples like this take a look at the Hove parishes which have only deposited BT's at West Sussex Record Office. If you have parish registers for Hove you are using East Sussex Record Office holdings.

User:TimothynbAnglican parish registers were acquired from the East and West Sussex Record Offices under multiple projects. The source list contains a total of (263) unique rolls of microfilm - (231) of these rolls of microfilm have never been extracted. The remaining rolls have only partial indexes and should be re-indexed as a part of this project. The contract with the East and West Record Offices limit the publication of images based on the following restrictions: 1) No Print/Download; 2) Watermark required; 3) FamilySearch patrons (K2a). Because of these restrictions, and because of the need for 'new' FSI projects for the British Isles, we propose to move this forward as "Publish Index" only.

TrikeUckfield and Hove parish registers added. the Hove parishes require page creations as only one pre 1851 page was created The Sussex Parishes page omits Worthing parishes If an index is to be prepared this page would benefit from a contents table of the parishes to form the index. FamilySearch publishes indexes without content or year coverage information which results in a confused and frustrating search for users. If a content table were provided contributors could form page content to support the eventual publication.
