Somerset, England - Transcriptions of Census records, Parish Registers and Poll Books

From time to time other Somerset Records come into my possession from various sources and they will be listed in this section of the website. Presently the records below are mainly marriage Indexes, of which some of the earlier transcriptions just list date and place and names of bride and groom. The orginal records should be consulted for additional information and also for accuracy as we are human and we do make a mistake from time to time. If you do come across any errors then please do contact me and I shall fix the error up or add a note.

The transcription I have in the Somerset section of the website is just a small sample of what I have. These will slowly be added to the site as and when time allows. Contributions of transcribed parish registers and other records are always welcome as these can usually be added to the site fairly quickly.

Their are far more transcriptions of Somerset Parish Registers online now, than use to be the case. Below I have mentioned just a few that I know of and if the Parish you are looking for is not among them, then a visit to Ian Sage's excellent website where he maintains a complete list of all Somerset Parishes that have transcriptions online. Also worth a visit is the Family Search website where one can search by individual name. Keep an eye on their collections as well (link on right towards foot of page) as they are being added to all the time, although Somerset images are not among them

The Somerset Online Parish Clerk Project has a large collection of Transcriptions of Parish Registers in there database which is searchable by individual name or by Parish name. Many volunteers have given their time to look after one or more Parishes, so if you are struggling with your research then please do look up on this site for the person looking after your parish of interest. They are always looking for new volunteers, so if you find a parish that has no one looking after it, please get involved and volunteer.
