What is in This Collection?
This collection contains indexed baptism, marriage, and burial records from the city of Canterbury for the years 1538-1986. The records were filmed at the Canterbury Cathedral Archives, and the index is being created by findmypast.com.
Parish registers have been kept at the local level across England since the mid-1500s. Due to this long and relatively stable tradition, these records are central to English genealogical research as they are often one of the only sources for finding families and individuals in England before the start of civil registration in 1837.
