Hi list,
for those with ancestors in England the Yesterdays site has
thousands of persons who appear in official documents as found in the County
of Derbyshire.
Countless numbers of those persons were not born in the County but appear in
those records. Some with a connection to Settlement, moving into a new
village or town. Others appear in Bastardy Warrants as they are named by
pregnant mothers as being the father to their as yet unborn child, or a
child recently born.
Rogues and Vagabonds came from all over Britain, duly whipped they were sent
on their way. The document tells you where to.
There is a vast array of iformation under Law and Order, plus mamy many
other details to be gleaned from Board of Guardians, Wills, Apprenticeships
and others .
Yesterdays link is below.
