Record Look-up Service

My Record Look-up Service is aimed at people who already know the document that they wish to see, but cannot get to the archive themselves. 

You might be researching a particular person, place or event, and you've found out that the relevant records are held at The National Archives (TNA).  I live very close to TNA and am happy to do record look-ups there.  Sometimes you may already know the catalogue reference numbers, in which case my job is a lot easier.  If you do not know the catalogue reference numbers, then I will need a reasonably precise idea of what you are looking for - i.e. discharge papers for a specific soldier with probable discharge date, land records for a specific place in a given time period, correspondance regarding a specific event.

I can provide you with photocopies (where possible) or digital images.  Where documents are difficult to read or particularly large (e.g. Chancery documents) I can provide transcriptions or abstracts. 

 Just tell me what you want me to look up, and I'll tell you how long I think it will take.  For further details see my page on Fees, or Contact Me.
