Old Parish Registers, Catholic Parish Registers, Statutory Registers and Census
- It costs 6GBP (approx. 6.70EUR or 10USD), to search the Old Parish Register, Statutory Register and Census indexes in the database.
- This gives you 30 'page credits' and allows access for a period of 90 consecutive days (starting from the time your credit card payment is authorised), however many times you log on and off in that time.
- If you download 30 pages before your 90 consecutive days are up, you can buy a further 30 page credits for 6GBP, and your access time is extended for a further 90 consecutive days.
- You will not lose your existing credits when your 90-day session is expired; when you buy more credits they will simply be added to your existing credits.
- Charges for index-searching are based on the number of pages actually displayed, not on the number of records retrieved.
- Each time you do a search, you are told how many records have been found; each record refers to a specific event, ie a particular birth/baptism, marriage or death.
- Before displaying the records, you have the opportunity to re-define, and narrow the search, without displaying the results.
- If you decide to view these records, they are displayed in pages each containing a maximum of 25 records. One page of results costs 1 credit.
- Viewing images costs 5 credits per image.
- To look at an index entry and view an image will cost a minimum of 1.20GBP (approx. 1.30EUR or 2USD)
- Viewing an 1881 census transcription costs 1 credit.
- Credits cannot be used for viewing wills/ testaments.
You can access any of your previous searches and downloaded images, without charge, simply by logging in to the site. There is no time limit on how long you can keep these searches and images. You can also order copies of any of your previously viewed records at any time.
If any searches / images are deleted however, you would need to pay to view these again as they are irretrievable.
