Registers and Certificates
We are often contacted by people seeking replacement certificates of baptism, confirmation, or marriage. In most cases we are UNABLE to provide these certificates, as completed registers are NOT retained in churches, but are deposited in local archives and register offices.
We can help you with the following records: Baptisms since 1991, Marriages since 1983, Confirmations since 1952, and Banns of Marriage called since 1966. All other records are now depsoited at the records office.

If someone has died...
We are very sorry if you have come here looking for help after someone close to you has died. We are able to support you through this difficult time, and can assist in planning and executing a funeral service.
You will need to make contact with a funeral director (undertaker) who will make all the practical and legal arrangements. Choosing the right funeral director is like anything else in the modern market place - you must be careful to find the right company, and avoid those of lower quality or poor reputation. We STRONGLY advise you NOT to use one of the national or international chains or groups, but to stick to a local independent company. There are many good funeral directors in our area, but also some very poor ones. We particularly recommend these local independent family-run firms, as efficient, trustworthy, and reliable:
Morse Funeral Services (Paul Morse, of North Acton) - 01753 372487
E. C. Mills (Acton) - 020 8451 2277
W. Sherry & Sons (Acton) - 020 8994 5474
We will be happy to comment further on any local funeral directors if you would like additional assistance in selecting the right company to look after your needs.
