Worcestershire Burials 1813-1918 (https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/62088/)

I'm not sure why they have only made the Bishop's Transcripts available, not the actual Parish Registers. Anyone know?

I'm not sure either, Kate.

They have transcribed the bride of Charles Lamb as Norah and not Sarah!

I found some information which says they started with the BT's because they were easier to do, and the PR's will be following some time in the future:
