Searching Registers - Baptism, Marriage and Funeral records 
Parish of Wonersh with Blackheath

Background information may be found on the page about our Vicars and Registers.
You may wish to check our pages for our Graveyard and Cemetery for alphabetical lists of names. 

If you are trying to trace family members we recommend the Diocese of Guildford's  Family History Research  page.  The Surrey History Service ("Visit us to discover more about your family") is a great source of information.  There is also the Cranleigh Local & Family History Centre, a partnership between Surrey Libraries, Surrey History Centre & Cranleigh History Society, available to help.  Try also Surrey Plus Wills Index.  Helpful sites are also West Surrey Family History Society  and GENUKI: Surrey Genealogy.
