Family & Local History

We are pleased to help people interested in the history of our parishes and people who are tracing their ancestors. Please let us know if you find out anything interesting, especially if you have personal connections with the villages. There is no charge for any help we can offer, but we invite a small donation in recognition of the time spent answering queries.

On this page, you can find details of registers and other records which are still held by the churches. Records outside the dates listed (where they have survived) are deposited in the Leicestershire, Leicester & Rutland Record Office. However, information from many of our deposited registers has been transcribed by local volunteers and is made available here as spreadsheet documents. (Note: You will need to have software compatible with Microsoft Excel to read the files. If you do not have such software already installed, click here to download Excel Viewer from the Microsoft website. Information has been taken from microfiche copies of varying quality. The original documents themselves are, in some cases, also of poor quality.) 

If you have any further queries relating to the deposited registers, please contact the Record Office directly.
