Comment:

These appear to be transcriptions of the local civil registration indexes. They are particularly useful for marriages as, unlike the GRO indexes, they contain  exact information on marriage partners and the church (or other place) at which the ceremony occurred. On the other hand, only the year, not the quarter and year, are given so it's good to find the marriage in both.

A couple of warnings are appropriate. The data are shown under Parish Records which is incorrect if these are from local civil registration registers, Baptisms should be births, Burials should be deaths. It won't matter in most cases unless the events occurred near the turn of the year. There may also be events recorded in these Derbyshire records that occurred in adjacent areas of other counties, for example events in Ellastone, Staffordshire, registered in Ashbourne.
