Ian Waller makes a return in April this time to talk about "Name Rich Resources Prior to the 1841 Census". This meeting is on Tuesday 8th April in the Eghams Room at Bourne End Community Centre.
Throughout history officialdom has created lists of people on a regular basis. The pre 1841 census returns, Posse Comitatus, tax lists rate books etc. which have existed since time immemorial identify our ancestors in specific places and are a great help in locating family events. This talk looks at a variety of records available to find you ancestors.
