Paid research

If you require us to carry out research on your behalf we charge £25* per hour, payable in advance. Research will be considered only if submitted on a Research application form 46kb pdf.

NB We charge for time spent on research not on results. You may request searches of 1 or 2 hours per application. There is also a half hour option for limited searches such as a baptism in a small parish over 5-10 years or one address in several electoral registers.

Paid research will be completed within one calendar month of receiving it - you will be advised of the date of receipt.
