Welcome to Gloucestershire Genealogical Research. I have engaged in genealogical research for many years and can offer an efficient service in all aspects of family history with a particular interest in Gloucestershire based material. In addition, I cover the counties of Worcestershire and Herefordshire. Please use the Resources link above for details of the material available for these three counties. I also have good contacts in the counties of Wiltshire, Somerset and Devon and can assist with your research in those areas and countrywide if necessary. You can click the Customer Comments link to view remarks of past users of my services.
I can quickly obtain copies of key source records such as civil registration certificates, parish register entries, marriage licence records, census returns, probate records, gaol records, newspaper items and many other miscellaneous documents that may be found relating to your family. I can advise you as to the best approach to take based on your current information and alert you to less obvious sources. You will find my service far more speedy and less expensive than that offered by Gloucestershire Record Office. Their charges are £18 per hour, with a minimum charge of £18, and they take at least 30 days to answer a small query and around six weeks to produce more substantial results. The Record Office will also charge between £1 and £2 for each copy of a document. (In fact, they have currently suspended their research service altogether until further notice). My charges are £13 per hour with no minimum and I usually have results within a week. Photocopies are charged at cost (usually £0.60). Why wait and pay more? Prompt advice and estimates provided at no charge, no task too small; for details of terms and contact details please use the Contact & Terms link above.
My own ancestry is in other counties, but my wife's is very much Gloucestershire. Key names are Attwood, Carroll, Clark, Drinkwater, Farmer, Griffith, Lideard, Martin, Tovey, Turner, Warder. Please get in touch if you have such similar interests.
You may also find the general and Gloucestershire specific sites listed in the Links page of interest. I would be pleased to hear any comments you may have concerning this web-site and its content.
