SOURCE DATA RECORDS


The Society’s Research Manager holds the following data. Much of it is on computer and all of it is available, on request, to members for their personal use.
GRO index of all EAST births from 1837 to 2005; marriages from 1837
to 2005 and deaths from 1837 to 2006. The index is regularly updated
with new information. The index has been sent by email to all members
and will be sent to new members when they join.
On computer over 18,100 baptism, marriage and burial Parish records.
These are taken from actual records, transcripts or indexes. Many are
not on the IGI.
On computer over 2,400 probate records extracted from the National Calendar from 1858 to 1967, together with some earlier probate records. These give exact dates, names and places of death, and sometimes additional information such as names of executors. We have paper or
digital copies of over 100 EAST wills.

A growing collection of over 2,800 birth, marriage and death certificates.
A note of the certificates held is made on the GRO indexes.
A list is available on the website.

On computer, using 'Family Historian', a  large collection of EAST family
trees with over 12,000 individuals and more than 135 trees.
A genealogical index, in book form, of all mentions of the EAST surname
from the first 14 issues of Points East, together  with a separate index of
other surnames. An index on computer of all mentions of  the EAST surname in issues 1 to 39 of Points EAST. 
All the above indexes are available on the website.

On computer, Civil registration indexes for EASTs in New Zealand (1840
to 1990) and Western Australia (1841 to 1905).

An extensive collection of non-digitised information, documents etc
contained within ‘County’ and ‘Correspondence’ files. This is partially
indexed on cards and a computer index of all 'Miscellaneous Data'  is
continually updated.

 
The UK National Burial Index  (3rd Edition).
