Holborn - second edition out now

Description

This second edition of our Holborn booklet – now with an extra 24 pages - contains a revised, updated and expanded list of the main records of interest to the genealogical researcher for the area based on the ancient parish of Holborn and includes the districts of Barnard’s Inn, Chancery Lane, Ely Place, Ely Rents, Gray’s Inn, Hatton Garden, Lincoln’s Inn, Staple Inn, Thavie’s Inn and St George the Martyr (which became a separate civil parish in 1723). This area was part in the county of Middlesex and part in the City of London. We have greatly expanded the sections about local burial grounds, court and prison records, nonconformist registers and Poor Law records. Apart from the vital records of the various religious denominations, examples of subjects covered in this booklet are the Inns of Court and the Inns of Chancery. Details include where records can be found, the dates covered, and whether they are original hard-copy records, transcriptions in books, or on the internet. This 104-page A5 illustrated booklet is part of our ongoing series of LWMFHS Parish Research Guides.
