A parish is a territorial unit that was usually historically served by a local church. This administrative unit is typically found in Roman Catholic, Anglican, United Methodist, and Presbyterian churches. It refers to a local, ecclesiastical community or territory, including its main church building, perhaps one or more chapels of ease and other property. In some countries, ecclesiastical parishes have become the basis for secular administrative divisions, also called "parish", but more precisely described as civil parishes, a subject which is dealt with separately.

Ecclesiastical parishes

A parish is a territorial subdivision of a diocese, eparchy or bishopric, within the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Church of Sweden, and of some other churches. The word "parish" is also used more generally to refer to the collection of people who attend a particular church. In this usage, a parish minister is one who serves a congregation.

How do you access and use UK parish registry ?
Q. I have been told to try these in my ancestry search but have absolutely no idea how to go about it. Does it work for both marriages and births? Do you have to know the exact church? Do you type in a suburb or just a name? Do you have to know the exact year? Are you charged for every record you look at? Family Records UK have a Parish registry section, I dont know how it works, should I use them? Please how do I start?
