Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

Family Research

The Registration/Bereavement Services Team has created a great family history research resource Stockton Roots.

This new website contains nearly 700,000 records for Births, Deaths, Marriages, Civil Partnerships and Burials in the Council's Cemeteries, as well as some search tips and links to other family history websites.

Parish Churches may have kept copies of burial records for their churchyard, but usually you will have to contact the record office or archive responsible for the records of that particular Diocese. Records for most of the churches in the Borough will be kept at the Durham County Record Office. A list of available records can be found online at the Durham Record Office homepage.

If you would like any further information or advice about this service, please contact us.

You may also wish to visit the Register Office's Family History page; this will give you information about the Birth, Death and Marriage records that we keep in Nightingale House and information to help you find those that we don't.
