Parish Records

The History of Parish Registers in England is well documented in Wikipedia. Most of Tharston's records are held at the Norfolf Archive Centre, with only the currently in use volumes retained by the church. Most of the volumns are readable with a few parts being faint or badly damaged. Early entries are in Latin.

Due to the large number of individual records, they have been split into periods of 10 years, each containing all 4 events, baptisms, banns, marriages and burials, included. For each of the 10 year periods there is a list of all the surnames of those included, hopefully so you do not waste too much time hunting for names.

The task of transcribing and making into an appropriate format for the website takes a great deal of time (especially for just one person) and more will be added as time permits.
