Thanks to Peter Hazelden, my long lost and much sought Norton surfaces in the 1920 USA census.

Looks like once again the general public get no say in what happens to our records, this only coming to light when it is too late to try & do anything about it as it is all happening in less than 2 weeks. Not sure if this means all bmd's right up to 2005 but I do not like the idea of my birth &...

I wasn't sure where to put this - perhaps Rod could start a new topic about the Law or The Old Bailey. I have just spent far too long searching this wonderful web site for my ancestors. you can do a name search and it lists all the people with that name who were either victim, defendant or witness...

An item spotted in the Medway Archives catalogue... Can anyone match this for interest value? Path: Accessions/ 07_M_SERIES/ M093.html Sample of sand removed from registered copies of wills 1570-1640 (PRC 3, PRC 7, PRC 22 and PRC 43) contained among the Canterbury Consistory Court probate...

Does anyone know when the 1841 censuses for Northampton and Warwickshire will be available? I went to S&N Geneology supplies but they are taking advanced orders without a date for release.
