Benwick Genealogy - Parish Records

Graveyard Burials Parish Records Photos Open Forum Family Trees Links Help People

I have managed to collect a few items which may be of interest to a few people, these include the Parish Registers from St. Mary's Church, a few death certificates from the Baptist Chapel, information on the soldiers from World War I & II and lots more.

Much of it is on these pages, except the Parish Records which I think are probably copyrighted by the Cambridgeshire Family History Society; however if you e-mail me, I will search through for any names which you ask me to and report back to you.

If you have information which may be useful on these pages, please contact me:
