What's Included in the Index

This is a searchable name index of birth, marriage, and death notices appearing in the Durham Chronicle. Names are entered as they appear in the newspaper. Use the search form below to find citations in this database. 
Years Completed in the Index:
  • 1859-Dec 1902
  • 1907-1914
Indexing of the newspaper has been an ongoing project and is the culmination of over many years of largely volunteer work. Additional years will continue to be added as they are completed.
We want to thank Donna Field for her continuing support and contribution to this project.

The newspapers covered: Durham Standard; Durham Chronicle; Grey Review and Durham Review beginning in 1859.
In the early 1980s the Library wanted to make it easier for persons doing genealogical research in our area and we decided to index our local Newspapers which are on Microfilm and Fiche.
Digital Newspaper is coming - Durham Chronicle from 1867-1969

This work was done by volunteers and is ongoing. By making our index available for searching over the Internet we hope to help more people in their research. If you find a surname you are looking for, please contact us; a volunteer will locate the article and send a copy to you. Even if you can't find the name in the database, we can still look for you if we have an approximate date (perhaps we haven't reached that date in our entries as yet).
