Hi, just been looking up some stuff on my ancestors and found this Southwark research site. Thought it may be useful for some of you who know the dates you are looking for in the parish records: SOUTHWARK LOCAL STUDIES LIBRARY 211, Borough High Street, London SE1 1JA Parish Register Searches A postal service is offered to provide copies from the parish registers we hold (listed below) for christenings, marriages or burials for which a precise date (date, month and year) and parish can be given. Please note that from the 1820s onwards these parishes became subdivided and we do not hold the registers from any of the new parishes. Please note also that the registration districts of St Saviour and St Olave cover a much larger area than the parishes of the same name If you would like to take advantage of this service please complete the enclosed form. The cost of the service is £2.00 per event. The fee is payable in advance, and is charged for the work of consulting and copying the entry requested. It applies whether or not the date you request contains the persons you are researching. We will not search for a particular name beyond the specified date. The photocopy provided will be the best possible copy obtainable. Customers should remember that some films are unclear, and will not make good copies. Requests to recheck a film will be treated as new orders and must be paid for unless it can be shown that we have made a mistake. To use our postal service you must: 1. Send full details of the date and event that you are looking for. 2. Send a sterling cheque, money or postal order made payable to the London Borough of Southwark, with the details of your request. We will: send you a copy of the entry for the event that has been requested. or return your cheque explaining why we have been unable to find what you requested. Personal access to the library's copies of parish registers is entirely without charge and subject only to the prior booking of a microfilm reader. Photocopies of entries cost 25 pence each.
