Lancashire Parish Register Society

Lancashire Parish Register Society

The Society was formed in 1898 and has published over 250 volumes of parish register transcriptions, either in hardback or on Compact Disk. The LPRS compares the original registers with the Bishop's Transcripts and notes any differences. In some of the earlier published volumes a comparison with the BT was not always undertaken. It is therefore recommended that you should check the BT (where available) for volumes before 118.

The published registers contain details of the history of the parish to provide information about district in which they are located.

See the main website for more details about the society.
