    1. [DBY] Ince's Pedigrees
    2. Nick Higton
    3. Does anyone have a pdf copy of Ince's Pedigrees, please? I was hoping to obtain one from John Palmer (of www.wirksworth.org fame), but he hasn't been responding to letters and email for the past six months, at least. I fear this may not be good news. In case anyone doesn't know, www.wirksworth.org explains: "Thomas Norris INCE was a solicitor in Wirksworth born 1799 and died 1860. During his working life he compiled a 484 page handwritten book entitled: "PEDIGREES & sketches of pedigrees of families in-about WIRKSWORTH etc". The book is a potential goldmine for local genealogy because of its circumstances and date. It contains some 1,000 Pedigrees and mentions about 20,000 people with sometimes a lot of personal detail. " The book is available as a photocopy and on microfilm in Derby Local Studies Library, but I can't get there easily, and I'd like to print off some pages from the original manuscript so I can annotate them as I research my ancestors in Wirksworth.

    3. Dear Nick, The simplest thing to do is go to the web page, copy the pages you are interested in and save them to WORD. I did a lot of the transcriptions for the website, and the original pages are hard to read and rather large. You're better off using the transcriptions.
