As well as the old way of ordering certificates from the General Record Office – paper £12.50 – PDF copy £8.00 – don't forget that you can order a Digital Image* for £3.00.
As well as being cheaper – the results are instant.
*Digital Images are currently only available for Births 1837-1923 and Deaths 1837-1957.
There is a vote at the moment on the new website asking Would you like a guide to ordering and using GRO Digital Images?
Here is a list of unclaimed estates for people who have died in Weston-super-Mare.
Unclaimed estates must be claimed within 30 years of the person’s death. If you think you are eligible to claim, all you need to do is prove it with a family tree!
Our help sessions at Weston-Super-Mare Library on the first Saturday of the month have been so popular that we have collaborated with the library to offer additional sessions on the third Monday of each month starting 19th May 2025. We hope that this will provide a greater opportunity for members and the public to access help with their family history.
If you are a member who enjoys helping others with the challenges of tracing their family history we would welcome you to join our band of volunteers. We find it very rewarding and always learn something of interest. You don’t have to commit to attending every session, or even a whole session, just what you can manage. If you are interested and would like to give it a go please contact Samantha Taylor in person at meetings or via the contact tab on the website.
Sessions are held at:
Weston-super-Mare Library
Town Hall
Walliscote Grove Road
Weston-super-Mare
BS23 1UJ
Monthly on:
First Saturday 2pm to 3.30pm
Third Monday 10.30am to 1pm (starting 19th May 2025)
Membership renewal published by Brian & Pam Airey on Tue, 18/02/2025 - 10:57
Just a reminder to those who have not renewed membership for 2025 that access to the website will be blocked at end of February. I have tried to contact all those on my list who have yet to renew and have quite a few email addresses returned as incorrect. Please ensure when renewing that I have correct contact details.
I have sent out a reminder by email that membership subscriptions end on 31 Dec., however I have just been through all addresses on the website and found several members have changed their emails since my records were updated. So I am trying to capture those miscreants!!
Thank you to those members who have responded to the original email. I apologise to those with standing orders who received that email as they obviously do not need a reminding.

The AGM of YOUR Society is to be held next week. The constitution states that we MUST have Chair, Secretary & Treasurer as well as 3 other members for the committee. Current post holders and members of the committee have been in situ for some considerable time. At the moment we DON'T have a nomination for CHAIR or TREASURER. Without these posts we will fold. Committee meetings are held via zoom so you don't have to live in Weston. Also if anyone can take over recording talks and IT work we would like to know.
