Non-Conformist Records now Complete!

The non-conformist and non-parochial records held by The National Archives have now been digitised. The final series of records is now complete and available to search on www.BMDRegisters.co.uk, or as part of a subscription to www.TheGenealogist.co.uk.

There is a hidden treasure of people from every walk of life that may not be recorded elsewhere and that can now be easily and freely searched.

This unique record set contains a wide variety of records covering non-conformist records, early birth registries, Maternity Records, Fleet Marriages, Burials, Overseas BMDs, BMDs aboard ships and British Churches abroad. Covering the period 1654 to 1950.

The Non-Conformist records cover Methodists, Wesleyans, Baptists, Independents, Protestant Dissenters, Congregationalist, Presbyterians, Catholics, Unitarians, Quakers (Society of Friends), Dissenters, Royal Chapels and Russian Orthodox.

Many famous writers, entrepreneurs, social reformers and political leaders are within these records which before the project was completed would have taken a lifetime to search.

The Fleet Marriages alone have proved a stumbling block to many researchers when browsing the microfilm. John Titford, author and speaker, found his missing relative within just a few minutes of using the site.
