Hi Alan,

Thank you for that great link. I have been to the SEAX catalogue many times, but did not know there were online images. I can start searching backwards – from early to later – I will have to wait ’till they make post-1713 available. Unfortunately, I am not in England, and rarely would have a chance to get to Essex.

Thank you again.
Roy

Hi Roy

You can view images of the baptisms, marriages and burials for the church of Holy Cross and St Lawrence at Waltham Abbey from 1563-1713 free of charge at Seax – Essex Ancestors Online http://seax.essexcc.gov.uk/displayParishContents.asp. The Essex Record Office says it’s “currently exploring options to make more of these records available digitally.”

Best regards

Alan

I signed up (cost 35 euro) to FamilyRelatives.com to get the Waltham Holy Cross,/Waltham Abbey parish registers (which I had been seeking for some time). I found that it was a descriptive account of the records, not the actual parish registers (subsequently identified as a 1880s book by Williams Winters – already available online elsewhere for free). Within a couple of hours of payment I sent an email requesting cancellation – repeated a week later. No reply. The parent company (Treequest) has an address in Jersey (presumably a mail-box address), with a phone number which rings out.

Please Mr Robert Woods (PR Manager for Treequest) when you read this – respond.

I find the Online parish Clerks (OPC) such as : http://www.opcdorset.org/ really useful
