West Middlesex Family History Society aims to encourage and assist those involved in the study of family history and genealogy in the western part of the ancient English county of Middlesex.

Using the menus above you will be able to find pages with details on the activities of the Society, how to join, the benefits and services available to members and helpful information on family history research in the West Middlesex area.

Researching family history around London can be complex, especially for those unfamiliar with the area. If you are uncertain whether the place that interests you is in the West Middlesex area, check the Gazetteer page. You can also check the Parish Map and Parish Information pages.

Picture above: Hounslow Free Library, formerly on the south side of Hounslow High Street, was built with money from the Carnegie Trust and opened on 22 March 1905. It was demolished in the 1970s. See June 2010 issue of the West Middlesex Family History Society Journal for details.
