Tracing Ancestors
The Parish Archivist, Nita Draper holds the records about the church graveyards. Mrs Draper can be contacted at nitadraper@btinternet.com or on 01428 682052.
The church of St. Mary, Chiddingfold is some 900 years old and from time to time people ask us about records we hold which may help them in tracing their family tree. Old Parish Registers are not kept at the church, but however we do hold photocopies of Baptism, Marriage and Burial records from 1813. Also note that there is standard hourly rate of £18 for searches in Church Registers, and additional charges for copies made of entries may apply. For safe keeping the originals are stored at The Surrey History Centre, 130 Goldsworth Road, Working. Surrey GU21 1ND, where they may be viewed.
