    In the Title box enter the name of the place followed by the words 'parish registers'. (minus the speech marks.) e.g. Billinghay parish registers
    Then just keep clicking links until you get a list of the registers held. e.g. burials 1813-1901; marriages 1837-1863.

    Lincolnshire Archives
    Update January 2023
    https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/hist...ire-archives/2
    For at least the last fifteen years, I swear the county council have changed the links in the Archives website every year, and what used to be a wonderful website with everything easy to find, and included an excellent Convicts Database, is now extremely user-unfriendly.
    To further enrage me, I can't access any part of the 'old' even via The Wayback Machine.
    The Convicts Database is still on the Archives website but it's a faff to find, and then you need to know a name. (See 'Convicts' above.)

    What was Lincstothepast is now
    https://www.calmview.eu/lincolnshire...w/default.aspx
    As of January 2023 no images of items such as the parish registers are available, and I don't believe there is a likely date for images to once again be shown.

    Newspapers -
    Update January 2023
    There used to be a website detailing which newspapers were held in which libraries but it's disappeared, and although the basic site can be accessed via The Wayback Machine, the search engine on it is unusable so I have deleted it from this list.
    The British Newspaper Archive will only tell you which newspapers it has digitised/part digitised.
    Boston library has most, if not all, editions of the Boston Standard and the Boston Guardian. BNA has the Standard online until the end of 1955. The Guardian until the end of 1959, though I can't verify the start dates of each paper. Where the paper says it's the Lincolnshire Standard and Boston Guardian it's actually the Boston Standard. The Guardian was taken over by/merged with the Standard I think sometime in the 1960s.
    Other libraries are likely to have the newspapers for their area.

    Suggested extra link. I am surprised that this link is not already included - is it hidden in one of the Lincolnshire local government links? Due to the recent malicious attack on the Lincolnshire local government website, the above link is not currently fully functioning, but when it is, it is a mine of useful information.

    Hello Alan,

    Welcome to British-Genealogy.

    I did say in the first sentence that it was an on-going project - which I must admit I haven't returned to as other things have taken over my life at the moment. If I recall there was supposed to be a method to the way I was listing things which was probably why I hadn't included Lincstothepast at that point.

    As you say, lots of resources available there, including online parish registers though future users please note that the PR pages are watermarked and that marriages stop at 1837. Non-watermarked PR pages are available on FMP, though (to the best of my knowledge) not all parishes are available on either site.

    I've done some updating of the links in post #1.

    See the section on Lincolnshire Archives re the now-defunct Lincstothepast.
