Genealogical Research and Document Searches.
I will undertake genealogical and local history research commissions, or document transcriptions. I can perform specific searches in my wide collection of personal indexes and transcriptions for families or individuals.
Charges for searches in my indexes are listed below. For ad hoc research I charge an hourly rate of £17 per hour for commissions of up to three hours work, and £15 per hour for every hour beyond three.
I do not charge for travel, or the time travelling. Copying costs are extra.
I accept payments by Pay Pal (used by most people overseas), cheque, bank draft/transfer.
My Indexes:
Wills and Administrations Hereford Diocese - nearly 27,000 Probate Grants; Lichfield Diocese - over 29,000 Probate Grants.
Shropshire Marriage Index and South Shropshire Marriage Licence Index (both together - about 70,000 entries). The Shropshire Marriage Index has been published as a CD-Rom by the Shropshire Family History Society.
Shropshire People Index (80,000 individuals), often linked in tentative family trees.
Church Court Indexes Many thousands of cases and individuals pre 1750 from Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
Unpublished Parish Registers. I have transcribed the registers of about 30 Shropshire , Worcestershire and Herefordshire parishes (normally to 1812).
