The Parish Clerk Index

Welcome to the Parish Clerk Index (PCI). The index is intended to be used as a “finding aid” for records, anecdotes and other references to Parish Clerks, Sextons and Churchwardens (before about 1907 when the role of parish clerk changed substantially).

Did your ancestor carry out one of these roles? Do you want to find out about the the people that performed the role in a place that you are interested in? Please use the links below to find the information about the people or the places.
