Thousands more parish records added this Findmypast Friday  

Findmypast adds 50,000 new English parish records, exclusive to Findmypast, plus even more historical newspapers

Over 18,000 additional records have been added to this collection, from the parishes of New Brentford, Tottenham and Edmonton. Using these records, it’s possible to discover parents’
