The web site includes a Family Research section, with many of our baptism, marriage and burial registers as well as memorial inscriptions – all searchable by name. This is also the home of the Bollington Online War Memorial, which includes potted histories and many photographs of local men who served in WW1 and casualties of both World Wars.
Although some of these records can be found on other websites, nowhere else is such extensive coverage available for Bollington! And it’s free to use, although we would be grateful for donations from those who find the search facilities useful.
