Welcome to the Belper Research website. Everything here (unlike other similar sites) is FREE and no subscription is required. I won't even ask you to register using your email address. BUT, if you value this website and what it provides, please see the important message above.
This website is a personal one, unconnected to any societies or groups. Its original purpose twentyfive years ago was to explore the facts surrounding my old house in Belper, and the land on which it stands.
However, while this is fascinating to me, it was of little genuine interest to visitors to this website, who mainly come looking for data to help in their own family research. Therefore, the decision was taken to turn over the website to other topics, in the hopes that it will provide a service to the wider public.
It now contains some general information about the town of Belper and its people as well as such genealogical records as are available. I hope you find it interesting and useful.
