Parish registers for Belper, Derbyshire, England Does anyone know of a good searchable (i.e. CD or Web site) source for parish registers for Belper in Derbyshire (UK)? I have tried to contact the Derbyshire family history society for information but haven't received any response at the time of writing. Their CDs-for-sale don't seem to cover Belper specifically. The Web site belper-research looked very useful but it relied heavily on LDS records, and they point out that the interface to FamilySearch has been broken by recent changes made there. The LDS records do contain some Belper data but it looks like they are not complete and does not include the names I'm looking for. I have subscribed to the RootsWeb mailing list for Derbyshire but I don't think I've seen a single message since then so I'm guessing that it doesn't really get much use. I recently joined eastmidlandsgenealogy but their Derbyshire coverage doesn't yet include Belper.

Derbyshire Record Office holds the original parish registers, some of which have been transferred to DVD and microfilm. Their holdings for Belper are on page 23 of < . It appears only 20th cenutry records are on DVD, and I suspect the older records have not been digitised. I suggest you contact Derbyshire RO for clarification and access.
