You can order a copy of these documents from The Society of Genealogists, enquiring is free and you are under no obligation to purchase.



Visitors to the findmypast website will be able to search the records by entering the name of their ancestor, which will produce a free list of results showing the name, year and place of birth or baptism. To view the full details, customers will need to register on the site and either purchase pay-per-view units or a subscription. Full details will provide the exact date of birth or baptism and the reference number to the original source documents for that person. They will then be able to contact the Society of Genealogists quoting that reference to order copies of the original documents for a fee of £14. On average the Society holds three pages for each person listed in the index.
