Services and Prices

Hourly rate : £40 + expenses

All types of research will be tailored to meet your individual needs and requirements.  In all cases you will be entitled to one hour’s free initial research to assess the likelihood of success in finding your family members.

I will generally provide the following :

• A detailed and comprehensive report (pdf file) of the findings
• Paper copies of purchased certificates
• Electronic copies or screen shots of the information found online
• A tree diagram (pdf file) showing your ancestors

Optional extras :

• Paper copies of all or any of the above printed out (subject to hourly rate and printing costs)
• A beautiful professional printout of the tree on quality paper (£40-£90)

Expenses :

• Travelling expenses
• Civil registration certificates (birth, marriage, death) will be charged at cost :

England and Wales - £11 per paper certificate or £7 for a pdf (certain periods only)
Scotland - £1.50 per electronic view or £12 per paper certificate

• 1921 Census records (England and Wales) - £3.15 per record
• Other expenses, such as for wills or probate records, or for other countries’ records, may be necessary and will be advised to the client in advance of ordering
• Photography permit at archives

Please note that ancestors located in countries other than England, Scotland and Wales and/or with very common names are likely to take more time with less chance of success.

Please also note that the information may be less comprehensive for very old (pre-1800) and very recent (post-1921) events. 

Photography :

I can be commissioned to take photographs of desired headstones, churches, street addresses and business premises, provided you and/or I are sure they still exist!  Normal hourly rate applies.  Photographs will be provided in digital format only
