Linda,
You're entering English research in the more difficult time period pre
civil registration. There's a webinar coming up on 27 April which you
should watch.

England and Wales - Rummaging in the Parish Chests
by Kirsty Gray | Intermediate | England | Wales | Church Records |
The parish registers of baptisms, marriages and burials in England and
Wales give many genealogical clues to help build a family tree. Kirsty
Gray also highlights other documents kept by the parish, the diocese and
the archdeaconry and the invaluable information which can be gleaned
about the lives of our ancestors.
There is also a free webinar on using FindMyPast.

Depending on which counties your ancestors lived in, FindMyPast is
invaluable as it has the Parish Register images. Ancestry is invaluable
for other counties for which it has the images. I have to have both.

Thank you everyone for the explanations and I really like the samples.
I am new to research in England - just getting started. Lots of
flexibility over the years, isn't there. Much studying and research
on the history is ahead before I can really do more accurate genealogy
data entry. I have printed off all the notes for closer study. I had
seen discussion on locations but not specifically for England. Thanks
again for taking the time to answer my questions so positively. I am
beginning to see why I can't find some of the ancestors - I'm probably
looking in the wrong place, wrong record set.
