What christian/surnames are you looking for?


The earliest records on FOD is 1538 (98 entries)


The Gloucester Marriage Index have a few back to 1625.

The Church of Latter Day Saints site is also very useful

as is the Gloucestershire Records Office Database (including Wills from 1541)

Earlier records are sometimes written in Latin - as in my 'family records' - and I used paid Researchers to search Gloucestershire/Wiltshire/Berkshire Records Office for these documents.


Also not forgetting exchange of information with fellow researchers via various websites.
