I am the online parish clerk (OPC) for the Devon parish of Cheriton Bishop (as well as Ashton, Christow, Dunsford, Hennock, and Holcombe Burnell). This means I have volunteered to help fellow genealogists whose ancestors may have lived in Cheriton Bishop. I am not the official parish clerk appointed by the Cheriton Bishop Parish Council. For an explanation of the OPC scheme, see Devon Online Parish Clerks. If you are looking for the official parish clerk of Cheriton Bishop, the website of the Diocese of Exeter may help.
Please start by reading the Cheriton Bishop page at Genuki. Information already provided there will not be duplicated here.
In addition to general Cheriton Bishop-related genealogical advice, I can provide lookups in the following Cheriton Bishop parish registers:
Please note that I do not yet have indexes for any of these registers, so I can only help you if you have a rough idea of the date of the event you are asking for. (Within a year or two is good enough.) I am also happy to serve as a repositor of any Cheriton Bishop-related genealogical information that you would like to make available to others. I will be adding more information and resources to this page over time.
My email address is listed at the top and bottom of this page. I look forward to hearing from you and will try to help if I can.
My personal interest in Cheriton Bishop comes from my one-name study of the surname Sercombe. If you have any Sercombe information, from Cheriton Bishop or elsewhere, I would very much like to hear from you.
