Findmypast major addition to Norfolk Parish Registers

More than 1.4 million new Norfolk parish registers are now available to search. Published online in association with the Norfolk Record Office, these new records span more than 500 years (1464 to 1993) of Norfolk history and add more than 500 new parishes to our existing collection of Norfolk records.

Created from over 2,500 original handwritten registers, these new transcripts and images include:

Over 501,000 parish baptisms added -- 307 additional parishes to the collections
Over 522,000 parish banns and marriages -- 461 additional parishes.
Over 423,000 parish burials -- 301 additional parishes.

With these additions over 4.3 million fully indexed baptism, marriage and burial records of Norfolk history are now available to search online at Findmypast.

Note that the coverage is to 1993 and includes parishes which were in Suffolk prior to the boundary change in 1974.

Nine Scottish trade and postal directories from Dundee spread over 1783 to 1842.
