Are you looking for a particular birth in a particular parish ..... and so need to do some research? STOP! Before you get started someone may have already done the research and sent it to the Society, and done the work for you!!!

When they send it to The Society, it becomes a 'List'. The collection of ALL references to any Metcalfe is of prime importance to The Society.

What is a "List"?

It comprises FULL details of those individuals recorded by our members from any one source. This can be from parish registers, census returns etc.
For example :- "Ripon, North Yorkshire, Cathedral baptisms 1821 to 1900"..... means that details of all Metcalfes baptised at Ripon Cathedral between those dates have been completed and are referenced by a unique List Number.

Please note that a LIST may cover a short or a long time span, there are no fixed rules. However we do ask members to follow a few guidelines :

a) to be extremely accurate in the recording of ALL the details from the original source;

b) to name the village, parish, town, and county;

c) to be accurate as to which months/years have been covered;

d) to record if all Metcalfe references have been taken or just a selection of those in the source;

e) to note carefully the source reference in each case.

Where do I send LISTS ?

All should be sent to the List Co-ordinator : Anita Metcalfe (M1142), 30 Dugdale Road, Radford, Coventry, CV6 1PB. Email : lists@metcalfe.org.uk

How do I request information from a list ?

To get copies of any LISTS or discover what has been collected for the area of ones own particular interest, send a SAE or 2 IRCs to the List Co-ordinator at the above address, stating which village, town, or parish you are interested in. You will then receive details of what is available plus details of costs. Send your order plus full payment in return.

A revised "Index to Lists" is under-way by The Society in which LISTS are arranged alphabetically by parish for ease of consultation, and will be available to purchase on completion.

Society members can access the online Index through the Members Only area of the web site.
