    Default Bedfordshire Resources

    In 2015 when this 'sticky' was first created this link was listed as 'The Bedfordshire and Luton Archives and Records Services where you can also purchase copies of parish registers (up to 1812) and some other bits & pieces in book or microfiche form'. The main link to Bedford Archives now (2023) only mentions Bedford but presumably they still hold records for Luton.

    Luton does have its own mini-archives.

    Carefully read the details at the top of the pages to see exactly what's been transcribed. (And huge kudos to the transcriber, Steven Gibbs.) Also firstly read about how the transcribing was done:
