Wimbledon
« on: Tuesday 11 March 08 11:44 GMT (UK) »

Hi All,

This is probably a silly question but please bear with me I have only just traced one of my lines to Wimbledon Surrey  Smiley

Where can I find historical information about Wimbledon please?  PRs, wills and the like. I have no idea whether it falls into East or West Surrey.

Thanks in anticipation.

Wimbledon is today part of the London Borough of Merton and prior to that was part of Greater London.  If you go back far enough it was part of the parliamentary constituency of East Surrey.
