Our Web site is separate from our database as they are developed and operated by different companies. It has been shown from research that generally members use the web site to search databases for information about their relatives which you are able to do by going direct to the Database.
Your Username & Password will be the same for both the database & our main site. Any changes to your password will need to be made on the main site under the membership heading.
The database contains the data that was present in our Frontis system and much more.
Further records will be added over an extended period. Where they are substantial these will be published via our publications and social media. Meanwhile keep an eye on the 'Content Update' in the NEWS section on this page for interim updates.

In 1752 we changed from the Julian to Gregorian calendar meaning that the year started on 1st January rather than 25th March. You will see that in some records the dates will be 4th Feb 1750/1751. This means that it would be 1750 in the Julian calendar and 1751 in the Gregorian calendar.
Some records have been left as per the original document from which transcription was taken. If during your research you are unsure please refer to the original documents for clarification to enable you to use the methodology you are using in your research.
