Services

I am based in Northumberland, but can travel easily to Newcastle Upon Tyne, Durham, Cumbria and North Yorkshire.

If you are doing your own research but travel to northern England is not cost effective, I can do research on an hourly rate for you. We can discuss what you require and I will give you an estimate about the cost. Alternately, if the scope of your research may widen, you can give me a cost limit to work to. For details about fees click on the link.

I also do a comprehensive family history either for your own enjoyment or as a gift for a relative. The Basic package traces 1 line of your family back to about 1830. Each generation’s story is written in an informative and easy to read narrative with accompanying charts and supporting documents. The four or five generation pack is presented in a convenient sized booklet. Because the research is specially tailored to the client’s individual requirements, if you are interested in this service, contact me for a chat, or I can send you a sample family history in the post.

Although not an exhaustive list, examples of the kind of documents I can search are:- Parish registers and poor law records. Census returns. International Genealogical Index. Wills. Electoral Rolls. Schools. Estate Papers. Quarter Sessions. Newspapers. Maps. Trade Directories. Mining.
