Sources of Transcripts
As well as being able to view census and parish register fiche

possible to purchase some of these to view at your leisure. Here are some of the
sources I have used.

Beavington for Somerset, Gloucestershire, Bristol etc.(see above) and is

of Latter Day Saints (LDS) and available to purchase from their web
