Lists and Sources in Georgian England (#381)

What do you do when censuses are no longer there? One of the most helpful things about a census is that it reveals where a family was living in years when no vital events occurred. In the pre-census years, this useful information is provided by a variety of lists. This course focuses on what can be found, describing the major types of records and how to look for lesser known, usually location specific, lists. Among lists described, including location, access, and any online resources are those of the following records: land tax, window tax, electoral rolls, poll books, and early directories. This course will help you find the tools that offer the best chance of locating ancestors when major record groups cannot help.
