General Information about this Group :
Family History
We meet in the Archives Room at Bexleyheath Library. There we are able to use their computers, accessing Ancestry for free.
We discuss a topic each month, such as Wills and Probate, Censuses, Maps, or Workhouses, and help each other with our family trees.
Occasionally we arrange an outing to somewhere like The National Archives.
Family History Update July 2026
In July we brought along photos of family weddings - our grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, and our own. We looked at how the fashions had changed over 100 years, especially the brides’ dresses and bouquets.
Another enjoyable, nostalgic look back.
There are vacancies in Family History
