Search service

The Record Office offers a search service for those who are unable to visit us in person.

The search service is a fee-paying service for which we charge £12.00 per half hour. 

We can undertake specific searches in church registers or more general searches in other types of records (see forms in the more information section). Once completed, the form can be returned to us with payment. 

After completion of the research, a research report will then be forwarded to you detailing any findings. 

We can undertake a maximum of three hours research at any one time. 

We can also supply you with photocopies of documents from within our collections - please see form in the more information section on the page - subject to copyright and the nature of the document(s) concerned.

Further information about how to complete the request form can be obtained by telephoning the Record Office on 01629 585347.
