'Blackmore Area Local History' is a website and partner blog covering local history, social history and family history in mid Essex.  Comments, queries and feedback are always welcomed. If you are researching your family, let us know. Contact the webmaster by E mail.  


‘Essex Ancestors’ is a major project under way by staff at the Essex Record Office to digitise and put on-line through SEAX (the catalogue of archives) colour images of original Anglican Parish Registers (except marriage registers less than 50 years old).  It is a mammoth task which will take years to complete.  Work is almost complete producing digital copies of Registers up until 1700 – 32000 pages in total - and plans are afoot to upload these onto SEAX.  In the meantime Registers can be viewed on microfilm at the Searchroom.
