THIS IS A LIST OF RECORDS CONSULTED AND THEREFORE OF COURSE INCLUDES THOSE WHERE NO PREECE ENTRIES WERE LOCATED

Parish Registers - originals, copies and Bishops Transcripts
[In addition to the parish registers covered by the IGI and VRI etc.]
The list of parishes for which records have been extracted is growing larger all the time, and is now too large to place on-line and maintain. If you have specific areas of interest, and want to know if I have covered them please ask.

Census entries

Due to the increased availability of census returns both on CD-Rom and on-line, entries from 1841 right up to 1901 have been accessed and are now held for the whole period. In some cases entries are taken from available indexes, in other cases (particularly Herefordshire and Worcestershire) they have been extracted from the actual returns. I am discovering new entries all the time, some transcription errors in indexes, and also some for example are recorded as Price and not Preece, so this is an ongoing process.

Census strays for all years are available on-line, listed in name (alphabetical) order. This of course excludes 1841 entries, where details are only shown for "Born in County", but I hope to add a section in due course for those "Out of County" entries.
