NEW!   More Poor Law Records for the City of London
Wonderful London, British Origins Library

Poor Law records are among the most valuable of all sources for genealogists, yet underused. They can contain a mass of biographical detail unavailable anywhere else.

Origins Network are making available a series of Poor Law Records for the City of London.

The second set of this series, transcribed by Cliff Webb, covers the parish of St Sepulchre. The index to the first two parishes, St Botolph Aldgate and St Sepulchre, now contains over 20,000 names. We will be regularly adding to this collection.
