The Family History Library has microfilmed the parish registers, parish chest records, and some transcripts have been microfilmed. See FHL catalog for film numbers.
The Bishop's Transcripts for Worcester were filmed twice. The second filming is not complete, but contains the following:
| Notes | Dates | Film |
|---|---|---|
| Baptisms, marriages and burials (most pages are out of order and many are missing) | 1609-1640, 1660-1700 | FHL Film 246658 Item 2 |
| baptisms, marriages and burials | 1820-1832 | FHL Film 350575 Item 6 |
| baptisms and burials | 1833-1838 | FHL Film 350589 Item 1 |
| marriages | 1833-1837 | FHL Film 350589 Item 1 |
| Baptisms and burials | 1838-1875 | FHL Film 350639 Item 1 |
The first filming was not arranged by parish, but by year for the whole county. Thus, each year's transcripts are on a different microfilm. An FHL finding aid giving FHL film numbers by parish is available as FHL book 942.4 K29bt, also available on microfiche at Family History Centers, fiche 6035756 (2 fiches).
