Current Projects

We regularly undertake transcribing work and all projects are deposited at the Local History & Archives Library for all to use.

Lancashire BMD Project

We are working in conjunction with the St. Helens Registrar's office and the Lancashire BMD project in transcribing the birth, marriage and death indexes. Since October 2006 over 360,000 St. Helens, Rainford, and Newton-Le-Willows birth registration indexes have been uploaded. Now researchers can identify St Helens births previously listed on the GRO index as Prescot.
