The Barnsley Indexing Project enables internet users to search indexes held by Barnsley Register Office, select a birth, marriage or death record they are interested in and download an application form.
The register office staff will send a certificate containing the record of interest. There is no fee to use the online facility, but a charge of £7 is made for each certificate.
The online resource can be accessed directly at http://www.barnsley.gov.uk/bguk
(Note: In March of 2009, I tried to access this index, and it seems to have disappeared from the site.)
The link is now http://applications.barnsley.gov.uk/service/registrars/index.asp
Work has been delayed due to the refurbishment of Barnsley Town Hall to include “Experience Barnsley” a new Museum and re-located Archives department.
