An essential guide to discovering your Londoner ancestors, by Cliff Webb.
The London area has always had a high percentage of the population. So most family historians have Londoners on their family trees. Finding their records is often difficult. There’s the sheer number of people living in the city, there may be namesakes of your ancestor, and London records are rarely as comprehensive and easily attainable as those of a village or town.
Cliff provides valuable information on administrative divisions, census returns, parish and non-parochial records, poor law records, wills, school records and newspapers.
