Most areas contain a street by street directory which lists virtually every head of household by name, along with their trade. There are even people listed with an occupation such as 'clerk', 'householder' or 'jobbing gardener' so these are ordinary people in their homes, not just tradesmen at their place of work. Smaller suburbs have no street directory but instead include a list of private residents, which often runs to several pages, plus a Commercial Directory of tradesmen.

RE-MASTERED TO BE SEARCHABLE IN ADOBE ACROBAT READER.

During the 1500s and 1600s, the Heralds visited each county and recorded the pedigrees of families. In many cases the pedigrees date back to Norman times (the 11th century).

These records form an extremely important source of information for family historians. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Harleian Society published a large series of books containing transcripts of these ancient documents. The books also include descriptions or illustrations of the coats of arms of these people.

This compendium contains 5 books on CD. The Visitations of London in 1568, 1598, 1633-1635 (2 volumes) and 1664.

(Purchased separately, these amount to £60.50)

This special limited edition compendium contains all the volumes at a really attractive price.

We have made all of the book indexes available as a FREE download, so that you can see if your family names are included.
