If you can’t visit the library, we can do some research on your behalf.

Enquiry and research service

If you can’t visit the library, we can do research on your behalf. We can look for information in the records we hold, including family history and local history resources. We often do checks in parish registers, census returns and local newspapers, as well as conducting more extensive research using our local history and archive collections.
