Ian Hartas has informed us that:-
Shropshire BMD is now open to the public. Initially it has only marriages online, but I hope that births and deaths will follow soon.
The recommended route to it is via the UKBMD site :
http://www.UKBMD.org.uk/localbmd but if you wish to access it directly it is at http://www.ShropshireBMD.info/
Note that it's ".info" at the end and not the more usual ".org.uk"
Please spread the news to your society and Shropshire forums.
Have fun !
It was brought to our attention that the image on the Shropshire Gazetteer, shop page didn't appear, it's been re-scanned and uploaded and now does show the front cover on a new page if you click on the thumbnail image. Here
It may be well worth your time taking a browse through the latest list of Books we have for sale, maybe find a Christmas gift for someone to encourage them to help you with the family stories, or what about buying yourself the present no-one else will think of. ![]()
The list was updated 9th Nov 2011.
Having been recently informed of them, we now have two links for Loppington on our Shropshire Links page.
It has been brought to our attention that there has been a broken link on the page about the Shropshire Marriage Index CD that should have led you to a list of the Parishes covered. It has now been sorted and can be viewed from here and click on the little image.
We have discovered that some Printed Parish Registers are missing from our extensive collection, they may have been loaned out to a member at a monthly meeting, forgotten about and not returned. If you realise that you have one of our Registers or know where one is, could you please pass it to Roger Hall (details on About Us/Committee), one of our committee members or if you are unable to deliver it, email me (webmaster @ sfhs.org.uk) to arrange its collection.
Thank you
