The Society has produced a new CD containing facsimiles of original Vaccinator's registers held in Bromley Archives.
The six registers, ranging from 1899 to 1930, contain the names & addresses of approximately 3000 persons of all ages vaccinated in the local Union building (not inmates).
In addition to these six registers there are about 25 other volumes in the Bromley Archives which are Maternity Hospital based and contain details of a large number of infants vaccinated. These are not on the disc.
See Miscellaneous Publications for pricing details.
The Society has just published on CD-Rom 'Edenbridge - An Index of People and Places 1200-1851'. This work is the result of many years of research by its author, Lionel Cole. It collates a large amount of data he has gathered on the inhabitants of and the places in Edenbridge. Based on many record sources including - parish registers, the parish chest, title deeds, wills, taxation records, judicial records, manorial records, local newspapers and the Tithe Award survey it is divided into two parts. The first part, organised in chapters each of 50 years, lists alphabetically all individuals who can be identified for that period in chronological order. The second part lists chronologically the main points in the history of every house in the village and every farm or group of fields in the countryside, and is illustrated with maps and with photographs of all buildings in the village which were present in 1851. We understand that the Author welcomes feedback from his readers and he continues to research Edenbridge and adjacent parishes so that this work can not be regarded as a final product but as a step forward in a process of discovery.
It is available as either a DVD or a 2 CD set, see pricing information on the Miscellaneous Publications page.
April sees the launch of several important new Parish Register image CD-Roms covering a number of populous parishes in the London suburbs. Although some of this data has been available in transcript form for a number of years, most of these are patchy and/or finish in the 19th century, or are not easily available for purchase. The new material, while unindexed, covers in most cases the entire set of deposited registers. The highlights are:
| Parish | Covering Dates |
|---|---|
| Deptford St Nicholas | 1563-1933 |
| Deptford St Paul | 1730-1966 |
| Greenwich St Alphege | 1615-1989 |
| Lewisham St Mary | 1703-1921 |
| Plumstead St Nicholas | 1654-1898 |
| Woolwich St Mary | 1670-1988 |
These are all now available for purchase on CD-Rom or DVD (with a few exceptions which are not quite ready but will be added soon). The images are grouped into PDF files and each register page is a high-quality scan similar to this extract this example (from Deptford St Paul marriages, 1740).
Full details and ordering information can be accessed from the main Publications page, look at the section entitled 'Parish Register & Cemetery Register Publications'.
The Society is indebted to Projects Coordinator Bob Woodward who has arranged for the microfilming & scanning of this material, the originals of which are held by the London Metropolitan Archives.
