There are over 60 million records. These records are not intended to be a comprehensive survey of all births and baptisms in England. Not every location has been covered and the date range varies for each locality but these are still a vast genealogical resource.

These records complement the millions of other parish records and the England & Wales births 1837-2006 from the General Register Office that are also available on Findmypast.
