The Wirksworth Website contains the results
of an intensive 20-year One-Place-Study of the
Parish of Wirksworth in
central Derbyshire, England. A large number of Baptisms, Marriages,
Burials, Census entries, Pedigrees, MIs, Crimes, Wills, Old photos
and local histories are listed
and indexed.
Most of the data has been transcribed by the author
from microfilm of the original documents
and new data is frequently added.
Much of the information covers
all Derbyshire not just Wirksworth.
You are invited to use the website to study the way of life of the people or trace your ancestors from the Wirksworth Area.
