GENUKI FAMILY HISTORY NEWS
No 171

18 July 2004

Hello everyone and welcome to this week's GENUKI Family History News, I hope
there is something for you in this weeks issue.

NEW RELEASES FROM ARCHIVE CD BOOKS

Barretts' Directory and Topography of Lancaster, 1886
This directory covers Lancaster, Morecambe, Carnforth, Milnthorpe, Kirkby
Lonsdale, Bentham, Ingleton and adjacent villages and townships.

The Robins or Robbins Family of England
details the branches of the family in Jersey, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire,
Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Cornwall, Derbyshire, Devonshire, Dorset, Essex,
Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Leicestershire, Middlesex,
Norfolk, Oxfordshire, Shropshire, Somerset, Staffs, Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex,
Warwickshire, Wiltshire, Worcestershire, and Yorkshire

1911 T. Bulmer & Co.'s History, Topography And Directory Of Furness &
Cartmel
Comprising its history and archaeology, physical and geological features,
with separate historical and topographical descriptions of each town, parish
and manor.

Records of the University of St. Andrews
Early Records of the University of St. Andrews, Edinburgh (Fully indexed).
The Graduation Roll 1413-1579 and The Matriculation Roll 1473-1579

Kent 1861 Census Registration Districts
RG 9/462-556

Register of Persons Entitled to Vote - Borough of Nottingham
Unlike the normal "Poll Books", which were a record of those actually
voting, these books contain the names and addresses of all persons entitled
to vote in the election for a Member of Parliament.

White's History, Gazetteer and Directory of Nottinghamshire, 1894
This comprehensive directory gives the names and addresses of
Nottinghamshire inhabitants but also gives fascinating extra inform,ation
that will enable you to build up an idea of what it was really like to live
in 1894.

White's Directory of Nottinghamshire 1885-6
Exhaustively covers all places in Nottinghamshire, providing great insights
into not only the names and addresses of ancestors but also the conditions
in which they lived through

And from Canada ( I have included this as it might be of interest to you
all, this is from Archive Books Canada)

* Gazetteer and Business Directory, Canada 1930
Product No. CA0035 : $45.00
A wonderful book with a truly misleading original title. Of the almost 2000
pages in this book the gazetteer takes up 70 while the rest are devoted to a
wonderfully complete directory of Canadian businesses and professional
people and their advertising. This is a great resource in a Country where
early directories are so scarce.
Both the gazetteer and the Business Directory are indexed by Province but
the business Directory is also sub-indexed by trade or profession. So, if
you are looking for someone who was a Grocer in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan you
can go straight to the alphabetized list of 71 candidates, most of who were
trading under their own name rather than under a company name. In fact the
vast majority of the businesses
listed were named for the owner including, of course, the professional
listings for Physicians, Veterinarians, Barristers, Insurance Agents, etc.

WEBPAGE REVIEWS

http://www.hometown.aol.co.uk/pitexplosion/index.htm?f=fs
A really very interesting site about the Badderley/ Baxterley pit explosion
of 1882. A real insight into the dangers faced by many of our ancestors, and
the tragic consequences when it went wrong. This site has accounts of the
event as well as lists of those who died, were injured, and otherwise
involved. A really fascinating account. I did not like the design of the
homepage, mainly for its use of frames, but as you browse deeper this seems
to go. Particularly notable on the site are the citations for bravery, and
the accounts of trying to rescue. Gives a really good account of the dangers
of life in the mines.

http://www.kirbymisperton.org.uk/
Another one place site, packed full of information this one is for Kirby
Misperton in Ryedale, Yorkshire. The site contains census information,
Nineteenth century directories, old (and new) pictures, and information from
Tithes and from the Domesday Book. Simply laid out, quick to load and very
easy to move around this is an excellent site that will be of use to many
people whose ancestors came from or passed through the Ryedale area

http://www.peterch.fsnet.co.uk/Pages&Frames/pg-info.htm
This is a sub-site of a general genealogy page and I really thought this was
a nice idea. Regular readers will know I like a site with a bit of
background information, and this site is concerned with the background
information. It give a basic, simple and easy to understand history of
England, both political and social, with information on Kings, major
historical events, employment, money, health and transport, amongst many
other things. If your UK history is sketchy and you want to know more about
the backgrounds to your ancestors lives then this really is an excellent
site to visit. Well laid out and easy to navigate this site is well worth a
visit

six months if nobody has claimed the certificates as interesting to their

READERS QUERIES

I should be grateful if any one has any details of anyone with the name
surname Worlow . I finally found my grandfathers name on the 1901 census
with wife Kate and daughter Florence . There is no birth cert for Florence
so now presume she was adopted (Born 1901) As it is an unusual name thought
it would be easy to trace but can only find one Worlow on 1881 census.I
have no
relatives left and my mother Florence never mentioned her family and left
behind no details . Thanks

My great uncle William Metcalfe disappeared shortly after being demobbed in
1919. He initially returned to the family home in Scarcroft (W.R. Yorks)
where his mother was postmistress but disappeared without trace a couple of
years later.

I have no idea which regiment or even service he was in although it is
likely to have been for the duration. Any ideas?
