Tracing of marriage, burial, Baptism and Confirmation records
Unfortunately, we are unable to help in tracing historic marriage, burial, baptism and confirmation certificates and records. These records are not held by the Diocesan Office.
If the relevant parish church doesn’t hold a copy of the records, it is likely it will be archived at the Essex Records Office.
For more information please contact The Communications Team
