Unfortunately you need a findmypast sub to be able to see the page scans and transcripts. You can search for free, but that doesn't let you look at all the neighbours, which for me is one of the most fascinating aspects. Occasionally though, perhaps a couple of times a year, they have a free weekend with unrestricted access to everything. Watch out for those.
I wasn't aware of them either until they were released on findmypast in the autumn. Initially they could be seen only on a rather expensive pay-per-view basis, so their change of policy to include them in subscriptions from February was a pleasant surprise.
I welcome comments and hope to respond within a day or two, but my condition is making this increasingly difficult. Some days I might not look here at all. Also please note that comments on posts over 7 days old will not appear until they have been moderated.
Good search tips. I find I give up to easily when researching family. I'll try this route.

DeleteFascinating I had no idea about these registers.
