Please Note: This is a culmination of about 20 years of work that will never, ever be completed. This database has more than 51,000 people with a historic Melksham connection. Search by person and click on their name to reveal their record birth, baptisms/christenings, marriages, deaths, burials and censuses, including the 1939 health register and 1942 civil defence. You'll also see parents and children.
It's been an enormous task, and there is a lot of missing information still to be added because, well, there's just so much time in a day to compile this information and match it to the right person. There will be blanks and there will be mistakes, and there will be persons matched to the wrong relative, but I am hoping with your help, we can fill in the holes and correct the mistakes. If you have any additions or corrections, please let me know. Lisa Ellis
Found records are displayed in date order (earliest first).
Asterisks indicate the fullness of the recorded information provided for that person.
Please Note: Mistakes are commonplace throughout documents used to compile this information (censuses, birth/death/baptism/burial records, etc). Names are misspelled or misheard by the entrant, ages given are wrong either intentionally or unintentionally, aliases are used, etc. The documents have been transcribed here as they have been originally recorded -- keeping the mistakes. But the person's name and (birth-death) dates at top attempt to be the most accurate.
