Milton Keynes Heritage Association Website - Genealogy & Family History

As a service to the many visitors who use this site looking for information on ancestors and relatives, here are some shortcuts to the information contained on this site. We have also had offers from sites with related information - see below for Ashton, Roade and Stoke Bruerne.

Monument Inscriptions generally cover records of inscriptions on gravestones, in most cases there are also details of plaques and inscriptions found inside the church and dealing with things like a Roll of Honour for either or both of the two World Wars. Several villages include details of gravestones which are or were only partially decipherable and therefore must be classed as "unattributed". They have nonetheless been transcribed as an aid to researchers.

Ashton, Roade and Stoke Bruerne - We are indebted to Norman Tew in Australia for offering us a link to his extensive genealogical work on these parishes. The method he has followed is first putting all the census data (1841 to 1891) into families, then adding all the parish data that could fit in with the rule that the person must be known to be deceased (or born before 1901) and could link at least three people in the family. Work is still ongoing on some of the Roade parish records. 1901 census data has been added, along with descendants of the parish people who have gone elsewhere (as told to him by their relatives and descendants). The 'elsewhere' even includes places outside of the UK.
