| Why not take a look at our NEW CD release? A Shropshire Marriage Index |
This CD-ROM is the first edition of a marriage index for Shropshire. It has been compiled from a number of resources. Two indices, Lewis and Gwynne, have been donated to the society following the deaths of their compilers and Chris Potter is incorporating data from these into his own computer based index. See our Sales link on the left-hand menu.

| PLEASE NOTE |
That our stocks Shropshire Burials Index 3rd Edition have run out and rather than just getting more CDs pressed we are adding new entries to produce a 4th Edition but this will take some time and so ask you to be patient with us and await an update on this site and in the Society's Journal.
