St Leonard's church in Yardley Gobion was consecrated in December 1864.  Earlier marriages and burials took place in St Nicholas, Potterspury.  As indicated above, records for the earlier period from Potterspury are being added to the database.

The main method for searching the records is via a Master Index.  The Master Index contains a summary of each entry in each source.  The initial results of a search of the Master Index permit a second search that will search for alternative spellings of the name selected.  For instance, in a search for Anne Pallett, the second search will also find A Pallit.  From the results of these searches, the full details from the census return, church records, or school register can be displayed.  To begin a search click Person Search

Separate pages are available which list all names mentioned in the master index.  The main purpose of these pages is to make all names available to search engines such as Google (because search engines cannot access the database directly).  To access these web pages click on List of Names.
