England, Bedfordshire, Parish Registers
What is in This Collection?
This collection contains an index to Church of England's baptismal, marriage, and burial records from the county of Bedford for the years 1538-1983. The original records are held at the Bedfordshire Record Office and Hertfordshire Record Office.
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.
