It is possible to search only the census records. To begin a search click Census Search.

Information from the Church Register of Marriages can also be searched separately.
To begin a search, click Marriages Search.

Pages presenting detailed information on an individual from either the census or marriage records, also indicate if information on the same individual is available in the other source.

Note that there is no facility to search separately the information held from the Church Registers of Baptisms and Burials. This information can only be searched via the Master Index. To begin a search click Master Search.

Microfilm copies of the original church records are available in the library archives in Milton Keynes and in Aylesbury.

Information is also available on Monument Inscriptions in the church and churchyard. Where relevant, these are referenced in the census data and marriage results pages. The monument inscriptions may also be searched directly by clicking Inscription Search.
