Research
Baptisms Searches
The Society's Baptisms Database was started in 1999. The eventual objective is to record all baptisms from the parish registers of Buckinghamshire up to 1901. We have already recorded most of them - over 877,000.
Marriage Searches
The Society's Marriages Database contains all available register entries for marriages which took place in Buckinghamshire between 1538 and 1837 and we are adding all marriages up to 1901 (over 270,000 marriages).
Burial Searches
The Society's Burials Database was started in 1999. The eventual objective is to record all burials from the parish registers of Buckinghamshire up to 1901. We have already recorded most of them - over 641,000 - but there are still quite a few to go. Some parishes are not complete.

1851 Census Searches
The database contains a full transcription of the complete 1851 Census for Buckinghamshire with over 167,000 entries.
Monumental Inscription Searches
The Monumental Inscriptions Library holds a considerable number of files of churches with or without yards (possibly just foundation stones or plaques). There is also a collection of war memorial inscriptions.
Stray Searches
We maintain an index of Buckinghamshire strays - i.e. Bucks people who have 'strayed' out of the county perhaps to be married or who have appeared on a Census somewhere.
