From their FAQs
> Coverage: parish registers and wills
>
> Essex Ancestors currently covers two types of records:
>
> First, Church of England parish registers deposited in the ERO. These registers, from over 400 parishes,
> cover almost the whole of the present county of Essex, including Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock, and also
> parts of north-east London that used to be in Essex. For a few parishes the registers go back to 1538,
> when parish registers were introduced, but in most cases the surviving registers start somewhere between
> the late 16th and early 18th centuries. Essex Ancestors includes images of all deposited registers of
> baptisms, marriages and burials up to 1837, together with post-1837 registers from parishes A-F (excluding
> marriage registers after 1957). Currently (October 2011) there are about 277,000 images of parish
> registers available. Post-1837 registers from parishes G-W will be added later.
>
> Please note that the alphabetical lists of parish registers on the Essex Ancestors webpage are in the
> process of being updated. They do not yet say 'digital images' against every register where images are
> available. To be certain, click on the 'View' button.
>
> Essex Ancestors also includes images of some original wills from Essex and eastern Hertfordshire,
> 1441-1720. These come from a single court of probate, run by the Bishop of London's Commissary in Essex
> and Hertfordshire. Images of pre-1720 wills from other local courts, and of wills from all the local
> courts for the period 1720-1858, will be added later.
