I D Like to Request Assistance for Brundish Parish Suffolk UK
Trying to overcome a brickwall for the period 1620 - 1660 due to selective burning of Brundish parish, Suffolk registers in the nineteenth century. I would like to know how researchers for this parish, and/or for the Bardwell and Wyard families, obtain and confirm information for this period. Thanks.
This site might be useful to browse through:

Thank you most sincerely, however I have already tried these for the missing period from 1620 to 1660. I understand which records are available and which ones are missing. I am keen to know the sources used by various family researchers responsible for numerous sites that cite baptism and marriage information despite parish registers for this period having been destroyed. It seems to me that there simply are no intact formal records, but rather hearsay and family records that may be subject to bias (unintentional or otherwise). I am specifically interested in the Bardwell and Wyard family records, being a descendant.
Have you tried bishops transcripts
No I hadn't - thank you! I just had a look via http://www.archersoftware.co.uk/igi/fs-sfk.htm, which includes a guide to the batches from Bishops Transcripts for Suffolk. Frustratingly the same period is missing from these batch listings. I don't know whether one could hope that all batches have not yet been listed, however the range of dates and records that come up when searching these batches for Wyard and Bardwell indicates that they should have been captured. Back to square one?
I am in Australia - so please bear with me. Would the BT's be accessible for anyone directly via the Archdeaconry of Suffolk? Or would I need to engage an authorised genealogist? Thanks again for your help.
The bishops transcript for Brundish may have been under a different diocese. I don't think Suffolk had its own Diocese in the 1600s
See map below.

It could have been in St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, Norwich, Ely which all came under the province of Canterbury

Sorry cannot think of any other channels to look down
That's ok - you have been very helpful. Thank you again! Regards, Mich.
