Historical Records
In a joint initiative Kingston Register Office and Kingston University's Centre for Local History Studies set up a project to create a database of Kingston's 19th Century records incorporating many of the Marriage Indexes from 1842 to 1902 and the Registration Indexes from 1837 to 1900.
Volunteers from the Centre have transcribed the records and the Council is now able to provide the Indexes on-line which will help provide a reference for anyone searching to find the original details from the many thousands that are held.
If you wish to trace your family history, then this free information may help you locate the reference for birth and marriage entries in our Registers. You can obtain a copy certificate for a modest fee by post or by calling in person at our office during our opening hours. It is our aim to deal with your application within 2 working days. Alternatively you can order certificates online (see related link below)
Disclaimer
All the volunteers involved have a vested interest in the locality and the Project, and we are confident that the greatest degree of accuracy has been achieved. However, original hand written documents can be difficult to interpret and so we are unable to guarantee total accuracy.
