PARISH RECORDS

	Introduction		Enquire

The Parish records are invaluable to the family historian as they contain lists of all the births, marriages and burials performed in a parish since 1538. While the Longhope records do not go back this far, as many have been lost or become illegible, it is still possible to go back as far as 1583 (not 1538), but information until about 1700 is patchy. We started a project in Autumn 2004 to transcribe all the parish records for Longhope, a process that is still ongoing today. Please contact us if you would like to know anything from these records. We would like to acknowledge the assistance of the Forest of Dean Family History website in this transcription process. Should the information you require be outside of the records transcribed so far, one of our volunteers is prepared to visit the Gloucester Records Office to do searches on your behalf to look up information in the records that we do not hold.

You may also want to visit the History section of this website as it contains lists of people living in the village and military surveys that may be of some use.
