  • Searchable database of Phillimore's Parish Registers - Marriages, provided by Nigel BATTY-SMITH.
     
  • Searchable database of Derbyshire Marriage Index 1538-1837, provided by Sue BROWN. 1538-1812 about 95% of county covered, 1813-1837 - virtually complete coverage.
     
  • The searchable LDS website - IGI and Familysearch
    Note on using IGI Batch Numbers:
    It is not always easy to locate your ancestors in the IGI using the search mechanisms provided at the above LDS site. Manually typing the batch numbers into the IGI search screen can be tedious. Hugh Wallis has made an exhaustive search of the likely ranges of batch numbers and created a database of those numbers and the source records that they apply to. A very powerful feature included is a hotlink from each batch number to the actual search engine provided at the Family Search site, including the ability to enter the surname you are looking for. This makes it very easy to search all the batches for a particular geographic location using just the last name you are searching for - something that is not possible directly from the LDS site without doing a lot of typing. This is Hugh Wallis's site.
  • Search Derbyshire Record Office's archive collections online via their web-site at Record Office. Or download PDF documents to view offline - as well as providing essential background information for research, the guides also provides covering dates for Church of England, Non-Conformist, and Cemetery Registers held at the DRO.
     
  • A list of Stray Marriages in Winster (marriages where one or both parties were not of the parish) is available on Dawn Scotting's All Things Winster blogspot - parties are from all over Derbyshire.
     
  • The Society of Genealogists web site has a list of their holdings of Parish Register Copies for Derbyshire.
     
  • If you are looking for Methodist ancestors, start with a visit to The Methodist Heritage site.
