It will be fascinating to see our families as they were 100 years ago.
To help prepare for this event, we will study the existing Census returns, especially the 1901 and 1911.
This will help us to enter into the spirit of discovery.
The course will offer a structured approach to finding out about your family.
It will cover:
- Existing Census returns.
- Birth, Marriage and Death records,
- Church records,
- Land records
- Court records, especially Wills
- Occupational records like teachers, police and soldiers
- Other records, like Emigration records, Newspapers, etc, if time permits.
