Most
records for Worcestershire (including some for Dudley) are held at the
Worcestershire Record Office - see below for contact
details - although original records are only held at their County Hall
Headquarters, their History Centre is fully geared to servicing the needs
of the family historian - check out their web site's helpful Family
History page to determine which is the more appropriate of the two
centres for you to visit
Records for the area administered
by the Dudley Metropolitan Borough are held at the Dudley Archives - see
below for contact details |
