Church of England Records

HeddellJim

I have heard that the access in Ancestry that is provided for free thanks to LDS membership is the same as what one can access with a paid world Ancestry account. However, this apparently is not true. For example, looks like many (perhaps all) of the Church or England records are NOT accessible if one only has the free LDS membership. Is there a list anywhere of what other records cannot be accessed without a paid world Ancestry account?

Members of the Church DO NOT get the "Full" access to "Ancestry_com".

They only get a "Special" access, that is limited.

But, I have found that such access has been sufficient.

There are only a few things that I could not access.

I am NOT aware on any "List", of what can or cannot be accessed.

I only come across them when searching, every now and then.

You may be able to find the images for the parish register on FindMyPast with a partnership account but it depends on the location. Some of the records on Ancestry overlap with FMP, or you can access the copies on FamilySearch at a Family History Center.

I agree with Mckenna Cooper. Try Find My Past. Most of my research relates to English counties and I find most of the records relevant to my needs (especially images of parish register entries) are found on FMP, not Ancestry. However, this could be mainly down to the counties where my interests lie. For example, FMP is great for Norfolk and Yorkshire, but not so good for County Durham.
