I also have been slowly transcribing some parish records. Somerby is an ongoing project, and there will be other parishes in Leicestershire as and when I get them transcribed. Hopefully they will be of use to some of you.
The new Parish Records section is now live and will be hosted via the Geneapedia link below.
