Barwick-in-Elmet Historical Society
Family History Research
The society does not have an active family history function. However in order to help those who have ancestors from the parish of Barwick-in-Elmet and wish to research their family history there are several places which may help.
The parish registers date from 1653 and there are some transcripts dating from 1600 covering some of the period before 1660. The registers up to 1812 and the transcripts, along with some wills and tombstone inscriptions existing in the graveyard shortly before 1908, were published in "Wills, Registers and Monumental Inscriptions of the Parish of Barwick-in-Elmet, Co. York" ed. G D Lumb 1908.
The parish registers after 1812 are held in the West Yorkshire Archives at Sheepscar, Leeds.
From time to time the society has been contacted by individuals researching their family history and a number have agreed to act as co-ordinating researchers for their family name(s). They can be contacted by email and they are listed below.
