West Middlesex Family History Society

Image of the month When presenting on our MIs Roland took the opportunity to show the Lendy memorial in the Sunbury Walled Gardens. While the Lendy memorial (the lion) is dominant and very handsome, the gardens also have 26 inscribed benches, 21 inscriptions on pegs hidden away in the flower beds, and a further 5 inscriptions tucked away on the garden walls. See how many your (grand)children can find.

Tip of the month Be scam aware. We encourage our members to interact with each other by email, eg for shared surname interests or other research, so, provided we have your permission we show your email addresses on any lookup of members. So scammers just could use these email addresses to try and get you to disclose more about yourself. Be assured, we have no information online that scammers can find and try to use against you. But, keep vigilant at all times - there are scammers out there looking for opportunities to steal your money.

Our aims
The 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. See also our Objectives page.

Using this website
The website contains much information about the Society, and provides general assistance in providing links to other websites of use to family historians. You may explore the site using the menus above, including to use the Sitemap, where you can see all our pages at a glance.

For example under Research and Indexes you will find pages which tell you which members of the Society hold some of our special assets, Parish Registers, Indexes relating to Places, and other General Indexes.

New members
We are always keen to welcome new members. Benefits of membership include attending our monthly meetings at St. John's Centre in Isleworth, where you can meet like-minded souls, many of whom have been enjoying this hobby for a long while. You will also receive a copy of our Quarterly Journal. Joining instructions may be found on our How to join the Society page. Attending our meetings is free, and you may come as a guest just to see what goes on, if you wish. Cost of membership is a modest £15 per annum.
