Free to View-Over 2000 documents and photographs covering all parts of the UK on the NWKFHS Flickr pages

Over 2000 documents and photographs covering all parts of the UK are available on the NWKFHS Flickr pages Free to view.

They cover the period from the 1700’s to the early 1900’s. They are arranged in Counties that they are connected with. They are provided by Members and many have never been available in public before this.

Already people have found details of their ancestors and families, in some cases that they were not aware of. Others have found avenues of new research about their family history. It is worthwhile having a look to see if you can find any of your ancestors. It is a growing resource so it is worth checking back to see what has been added. They can be found at  NWKFHS Flickr 

The documents are provided by the NWKFHS and its Members as part of the Society’s Charitable remit. If you ancestors came from or they lived in South East London and the North West Kent area the Society can help you with your family history.

The Society has a well stocked Library containing reference books/transcriptions/Indexes, Parish Register and much more.  The Society also offers a low cost research service.  You can find more details about this and other services the Society provides at  NWKFHS Website
