Walsall churches

The registers of St. Matthews Church, Walsall are still kept at the church, but the Local History Centre does have microfilmed copies of the registers except the first (1570-1649) up to 1986. There is no burial nor marriage register for the period 1649-1662. The Local History Centre also has printed transcripts, 1570-1649 and typed, indexed transcripts of baptisms to 1837, burials to 1852 (except for October 1746-May 1749), (these are on the microfilm of the registers but have not been transcribed), and marriages, 1662-1837. There is also a card index of baptisms, 1831-1835 and marriages, 1754-1837 based on the bishop’s transcripts but checked against the parish registers.

NB: To view St. Matthew's Parish Registers at Walsall Local History Centre you will need to book a FILM reader rather than a FICHE reader - please specify when booking.
