Shropshire Council is bound by the Data Protection Act with regard to information held about living individuals.
We can only disclose records to the subject of the information or an authorised representative of that person.
The Archive Service
The Archive Service has limited records that might be helpful. The link on this page outlines the kinds of records they have.
If you submit an enquiry to the team in writing and give them a contact number or address, they can advise you on how best to proceed with your search.
They have a research service but there is a charge for this - details can be found via the link on this page.
The Registrars Service
The Registrars Service will have details of birth and death certificates.
There is a charge for this service - details can be found via the link on this page.
Please note that any records the Archive Service and Registrars Service do have will be for the area of Shropshire only.
Another way in which you can search for people is to place an advertisement in local newspapers.
If you are not sure of the area your relative might live in or have lived in, it might be better to approach the National Archives. Follow the link on this page for details.
