FAMILY HISTORY SEARCHES

Glimpse of St Matthew's Register of Marriages 1841-1843>>>

In today’s society it seems more people than ever are researching their family tree . 

We at St Matthew’s will endeavour to assist you in your quest for information about your ancestors.

Our records date back to 1841. We have Baptism, Marriage, Confirmation and some burial records.

Our records are not open for public viewing but office staff will carry out searches on your behalf.

In order to facilitate a successful family search, it is vital that we have as much information as possible, but the following details are imperative....

For Baptism Certificate - full name at time of Baptism, date of Birth, father’s name and mother’s maiden name.

For Marriage Certificate - full names of both parties (bride’s maiden name) date of Marriage Ceremony.

We get a substantial number of requests per year with only vague information given to us; regrettably few of these searches turn up the required information and take up valuable time in searching through old record books and registers.

Therefore due to the volume of requests and time limitation we can only search two years either side of the dates provided.  We only accept enquiries in writing.

As you can appreciate searching takes some time. Nominal fee applies.

For more information contact the Parish Office on 028 90 457626.
