London Metropolitan Archives Web Site

WARNING Many Genealogy web sites are continually being updated and it is impossible for me to monitor all these changes. You should therefore visit this web site to discover the facilities currently offered.

These Archives cover both London and the former County of Middlesex, including some areas which were once in Hertfordshire. In addition many people from Hertfordshire moved to London for work, while many of the larger country hoses in Hertfordshire were owned by people who worked in London. Most of the major transport route through Hertfordshire (roads, railways and canal) start in London, so there was considerable through the county, in addition to agricultural supplies from Hertfordshire farms. In addition a number of large residential schools for children, and mental hospitals were built in Hertfordshire to provide for people from London/Middlesex workhouses. For this and other reasons these archives can prove very useful for some aspects of Hertfordshire Research.
