St Botolph’s Parish Registers
The Rugby Family History Group has released a new transcription on CD of the parish records held by the Warwickshire County Record Office. These records cover baptisms from 1559 to 1876, marriages from 1559 to 1837, and burials from 1559 to 1900. The transcription has been subject to thorough checking and The RFHG believes it to be the most complete and accurate available.
The Family History Group no longer produce CDs as computers these days do not have CD readers but they have the Parish Registers , (Baptisms 1559 - 1876, Marriages from 1559 - 1837 and burials from 1559 - 1901,) and Censuses 1841-1901 , in digital format and can be sent out for a one off price of £10.
