We can provide a variety of services to help you in your family research. 

 

 

They range from simple visits to check records and photograph graves, buildings etc to detailed research starting from scratch.

 

We have a set fee of £10 to visit any location in South East Northumberland (Blyth, Cramlington, Seaton Valley, Bedlington, Ashington etc ) This includes travel time, but we will guarantee that we'll be at a location at least half an hour for research.

 

We will E-Mail any photographs, with no extra charge. If you would rather have a print, we charge 50p each, with £1 postage for up to 5 prints.

 

If you don't mind waiting a few days, we will try to combine visits to places for different clients, and share the costs between them.

 

If we need to visit somewhere not in the immediate vicinity we charge 25p per mile after the first 20 miles. To give you an idea of distance, we are 10 miles from Woodhorn, the Northumberland County archives, so there will be no charge for travel costs going there) 

 

 

Online research will be charged at £7.50 per hour, but will include prints of research documents where possible. Once we have researched to your requirements, or to your financial limit, we will send either a printed report, or E-Mail a "Gedcom file" and a report in "Doc" format. This will be for a flat fee of £3, but the charge will be waived if you commission at least 4 hours research. 

 

 

We can order Birth, Marriage, and Death certificates for you, if you request them, for £10 each. 

 

 

We can even arrange to purchase (mostly reproductions of) old maps on your behalf, so you can see the places where your ancestors lived , often in long-gone streets. Prices start at £6. 

 

If you live in the Newcastle, North Tyneside  or South East Northumberland area we will always try to give you a free visit to discuss your exact requirements. These can be arranged at a time convenient to you.

 

We are happy to accept cheques (made payable to Blyth Valley Consultants Ltd please) or Paypal (Our Account name is sales@blyth-valley-consultants.co.uk )

A new service is "House History". If your house is old enough, ie  pre-1911 we can provide a record of all the occupants of the house on censuses. This is only £10, including a posted, written report. An example of this will be the Single Row and Double Row project.

 

If you wish to have your results professionally written, we recommend Personally Penned Calligraphy Services. EMail ppcalligraphy@outlook.com for details. When they have a website we will post a link here.

 

If in doubt, ask.
