Ancestry.co.uk has announced that the first records from the digitisation project on the records at the London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) have been released.
Poor Law records now launched cover 12 major London regions: Poplar, Paddington, St Marylebone, St Pancras, Southwark, Islington, Stepney, Westminster, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Holborn and Hampstead. The remaining regions will launch online in the coming months.
The 1911 census has today been released online, or at least the first 35 counties. Other counties to follow. Some complex search options are not being offered at present in order to cope with the expected high demand.
Welcome to the website of the London Westminster & Middlesex Family History Society. For 30 years we have been helping family historians who either have ancestors in our area or live here. Please look around our website and perhaps we can help with your genealogy. Better still, why not join our Society and get the benefit of the knowledge of other members and our quarterly journal Metropolitan.

Are you a beginner?

We were all beginners once. Family History is becoming more and more popular, stimulated by TV programmes such as Who do you think you are?
A series of transcriptions have been donated to the Society by James Sanderson, member 949. These have been placed in the Members' Area.

Is there something that you'd like to see on the Society's website? This might be part of the public area or part of the new Members' Area, where material could be made available to members only. Perhaps you have some photographs we can use for an online album? Perhaps you can assist writing up information on parishes in our area? You can submit ideas to me or use the new Members' Forum where you can also discuss problems and share news with others. Let me know!
