Research Services
For people unable to make a personal visit to the town, we are able to
provide a research service. Research will be carried out using documents
held by the Centre and if necessary, at the Barrow Record Office.
Sources include parish registers, bishop's transcripts, wills, census returns,
electoral registers, trade directories, newspapers, the International Genealogical
Index, and a series of surname indexes.
Search fees
The charge for this service is 15 pounds sterling per hour. The minimum
charge is 15 pounds sterling, payable in advance.
Whilst every effort will be made to carry out research accurately, no
guarantee can be given that the search will produce positive results.
Normally we will
not carry out searches of more than three hours at a time. This permits
you to control the cost of the search.
Requests for searches must be made on the official application form and must be accompanied at least by the minimum fee. The full length of the search can be specified and paid for in advance, but if an open-ended search is requested a top limit can be specified and the final cost will be notified as soon as the search is completed. The results of a search will not be despatched until full payment has been received. ( Overseas customers please add £3 to cover postage costs.)
Payment
Payment may be made by sterling cheque, postal order or money order, crossed
and made payable to:

post to:
