Derbyshire County Free Look-Up Index

***PLEASE READ FIRST***
The following people have kindly agreed to conduct free lookup searches of records in their possession. However, due to copyright they cannot supply duplicates or photocopies. If you would like them to conduct a search - please supply the contact with as much information as possible; include the name of the individual and the town to be searched, also state which record you would like to be searched. Please do not ask for multiple records/sources to be searched at the same time - or ask for one name blanket searches in one place as it would take far too long, and refusal often offends. Please take the time to read the list below & make sure that the record & place (that you want) is actually listed. Please don’t waste valuable time asking for a lookup which is not listed. If you have any Derbyshire records and you are willing to conduct searches on behalf of others, please send your personal information & detail the record(s) that you wish to add to the lookup exchange list.

***LOOK-UPS ARE FREE***  but please don’t abuse the service by asking for too much information on any one day ... or by sending multiple requests at the same time ... Thanks

You should supply full name of the ‘Head of Household’ and any other names believed to be living together in same household. You must also include their approx. ages & the exact location ... if they’re believed to reside in a larger town, you must supply street location as Dawn will only search small hamlets & specific areas; it takes too long to search whole towns.
