Non-Conformist & Non-Parochial Records

Where can I find the Non-Conformist Records?

The hidden birth, marriage and death records have been compiled from various unpublished registries and are a fantastic resource for the family historian, often proving to be the only record of the events.

S&N Genealogy Supplies recognised the importance of the records and applied and won the bid to make these available online as part of The National Archives LIA scheme. This new release of online records means that for the first time these additional BMD records can be searched with ease rather than looking through millions of images on thousands of reels of microfilm.

Over 9 million records can be searched at BMD Registers (www.BMDRegisters.co.uk), which is the official site for non-conformist and non-parochial records, in association with the National Archives.

"Will I be able to find my ancestor?"

The BMD Registers website is very easy to use - you can even search for free, then once you have found the entry you are looking for, you would need to pay for access. Prices start at £5, so it's a bargain if you only need one or two entries. To start searching, you can visit www.BMDRegisters.co.uk - you can also view some examples on our case studies page.

However, if you have a number of non-conformist ancestors, there is a cheaper way to search for them.

If this is the case, you should look at taking out a full subscription to TheGenealogist.co.uk, which include the records from BMD Registers as part of their Gold Personal Premium packages. When you take out a subscription, you will also gain access to their vast collection of other records - census transcripts & images, GRO indexes to births, marriages and deaths, parish records, directories, wills, military records, and more. Their prices start at just £44.95 for six-months unlimited access - which, for the amount of data you would have available to you, is a bargain!
