Welcome to

The Cosford Database
Compiled by Ray Long  ©2002 - 2007

The web site was last updated:- 21 January 2011

Please note that only parts of the site are operational at present  - more to follow


This web site contains just some of the information from the main Cosford Database which contains details of over 134,000 people and over 35,000 families mainly from the Lavenham and Cosford Registration District of Suffolk, England.
Most of the web sites only contain details of people born before 1910 but the main database contains details of people right up to the present day.

There are now links to all 28 villages that make up the Cosford Registration District of Suffolk although there is not much information on some of the web sites.

Acton, Lawshall, Long Melford, Stoke by Nayland, Great Waldingfield and Little Waldingfield in the Sudbury Registration District are also included and Buxhall, Stowmarket and Rattlesden in the Stow Registration District and Ringshall in the Bosmere Registration District

Many of the families have been traced back well into the 1700s and there are family trees from many different contributors.

Please note that I shall no longer be posting notes and sources on this web site so PLEASE contact me for further information if you find a connection to anyone mentioned. Notes contain information such as Census data and details from marriage records.

 

Thank You

Many thanks must go to Steve Harvey, Maggie Driver, Steve Barber, Robert Newman and David Squirrell for the information and help they have given me and for checking my own research. Thank you also to the many people who have contributed their own research to this web site.
