Family History
Historical records and information
Are you researching your family history?
This is a complex process that can lead you on a wild goose chase across the world!
Here at the Avon Valley Churches we want to be able to help you as much as we can.
On this page you will find details about the information we hold within the three Parishes and importantly, the information we do not. This doesn’t mean that your journey ends here. We have compiled some suggestions of where to go next should you find the information we hold is not enough.
If you wish to locate a specific grave in the churchyards, wish to carry out a register search, or have other general enquiries, please contact the Parish Office, as we have churchyard plans for some of the Churches which may be of some help.
We hope you will find what you are looking for.
What we have:
A list of Memorial Inscriptions for St Mary’s Church, Fordingbridge.
A full record of all burial sites is held for Hyde. Contact the Church Office.
What we don’t have:
We have no old records in the Parish – they are all held in the Archives at the Hampshire County Records Office
Looking for Stuckton Cemetery?
It is worth your noting the difference between the two areas of Stuckton Cemetery – the area around the old chapel is Churchyard, and is contained within the records of Fordingbridge Parish Church. The newer area, to the left of the main path, is a Civic Cemetery, looked after by Fordingbridge Town Council – details at Fordingbridge Town Council
