My name is Ros Haywood and I am the OPC (Online Parish Clerk) for Ottery St Mary. I have gathered/am gathering/will gather as much genealogical detail as possible about Ottery St Mary from parish registers, census records, land tax assessments, tithe apportionments etc.

Below you will find a list of resources that I have. Some I have transcribed and are on this site; some, for reasons of copyright and/or size are in my possession and I will do lookups for you; some have links to other sites (for instance, the FamilySearch site has the 1881 census online for free).

Please be aware that I am a volunteer and should in no way be confused with the Council-appointed Parish Council clerk.
You can read more about the Online Parish Clerk scheme here

My privacy policy means I consider individuals born under 110 years ago are to be regarded as living, and so information on them will not be published on this site.
