Our postal copying service
We can copy and send materials to you for a fee. You’ll need to give us specific details of information you want, like:
- exact date
- address
- any other relevant information, for example event type for parish registers
- content of a newspaper story
This is not a research service, so we will not search the records for a specific name. The fee is payable in advance and is non-refundable, even if we cannot find the information requested.

If you would like us to do research, we charge a fee of £28 per half-hour.
