Parish Registers, dating from 1538, are the earliest comprehensive records of baptisms, marriages and burials in England and Wales. They are still kept today despite the fact that civil registers of births, marriages and deaths have been maintained since 1837. Parish Registers are valuable sources for family and local historians and may provide the only evidence we have for the existence of our ancestors. |

The census is a vital source of information for all social and economic historians interested in the Victorian period. The editor of the Illustrated London News was absolutely right when he wrote, in 1851, that the numbering of the people at regular intervals is a duty which people owe to themselves and the generations that are to follow them. The census can be used to study a particular family or to undertake a total history of a particular street or parish. It is also possible to use it for a regional or national study of subjects such as the disappearance of servants or the process of urbanisation. |
