Family History
Our Parish Registers and Birth, Marriage and Death certificates can help solve mysteries or delve further back into family trees.
Parish Registers
Our collection of baptisms, marriages and burials cover the deaneries of Bolingbroke, Calcewaithe and Candleshoe, Corringham, Grimsby and Cleethorpes, Haverstoe, Horncastle, Lawres, Louthesk, Manlake, Westwold and Yarborough.
Memorial inscriptions and burial registers are available for Scartho Road, Ainslie Street/Doughty Road, and Cleethorpes Cemeteries. For Scartho Road and Cleethorpes Cemeteries there are maps and keys for how to find a specific plot.
A local Grimsby and Cleethorpes marriage database is also searchable via the Family History computer.
Electoral Registers
Electoral Registers show any and all eligible to vote. For the Grimsby constituency, registers span from 1901 through to present day. For the Cleethorpes constituency, registers span 1918 through to the present day. Whilst the current year’s electoral register is available to view upon request, the electoral registers between 2013 to 2021 (inclusive) are closed records and unavailable.
The 1918 Absent Voters Electoral Roll is very useful – as with all other electoral registers it lists all those who are eligible to vote at each address, but this list also gives the Service, Ship, Regiment Number, Rank, Rating etc. of those away at War. This information can then be used to unlock finding military records.
