Subject: [INTIPTON] English Ancestry
This came through on another list I belong to and I thought it might be of
interest to some of you. I have never seen it before.
Hi list,
For those with English ancestry the Yesterdays site has
thousands of names of persons who appear in official records within the
County of Derbyshire but who came from elsewhere.
Such records as Settlement Certificates which gave the name of the last
legal Settlement of the person to which the certificate belonged. This
document was presented to the Overseers of the new parish into which the
bearer of the certificate was hoping to settle in. Should that person
eventually become a burden on the new parish he was removed to the place
the
Settlement Certificate said he came from.
Removal Orders were the instrument the Overseers used, these like the
Settlement Certificates are listed in Yesterdays.
School admissions for Derbyshire schools reveal that some children
emigrated
to America. The are also listed, this is an ongoing project and no doubt
many more will be found an listed.
Law and Order reveals the ordeal some people went through at the hands of
some nasty people, some hoped to get away stealing washing from the hedge
or
a goose or two. Again all listed in Yesterdays. Link below.
There are many more including Workhouse records. Some really hard stories
as
people struggled to survive. Again not all were from Derbyshire but from
other araes of Britain.
