Hello All, This is a very interesting and informative website:- http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/Paupers/PaupersA-C.html It gives information about 10% of the people who lived in Workhouses in 1861 RETURNS "from each WORKHOUSE in England and Wales, of the Name of every ADULT PAUPER in each WORKHOUSE who has been an Inmate of the Workhouse during a continuous Period of Five Years; stating the Amount of Time that each of such Inmates shall have been in the Workhouse, and the Reason assigned why such Persons are unable to maintain themselves........" .

Updated International Genealogical Index A new version of the International Genealogical Index is now available on the Family Search Internet Genealogy Service (Family Search Internet). This new version contains the following enhancements: * More Names. More names have been added to the index. These names were received since the last release in January 2000. * Regular updates. The index will be updated as new information is received. Note: There are no current plans to update the International Genealogical Index on compact disc. * Individuals linked into families. Some individuals are linked into families and can be displayed on family groups and pedigree charts. The number of linked individuals is relatively small but is expected to grow significantly in the future. You can also download family group records and pedigree charts. * Additional event information. All events that were in original user submissions are now displayed and can be used as search criteria. * Improved searching. You can now search the index by given name, surname and state, and more types of events, even across regions. The processes used to find individuals in spite of spelling and other differences in the name have also been improved. * Information to describe the source. When you display an individual¹s records, you will see messages that describe the source of the information. Hope this is of some help to some people Cheers, Lesley in Oz

Harry Arthur COX was the son of Mary BREADMORE (of St Mary Bourne) and John COX. He married in the Kingsclere Registration District in 1894 and I believe that he had a son in 1898 called Harry Breadmore COX. There may have been other children of the marriage and I wonder if they also had Breadmore as a second name. Any further information on this COX family would be very much appreciated. -- Margaret Young margaret@breadmore.org Breadmore One-Name Study (GOONS 2503) http://www.breadmore.org/

The fiche are however very easy to use and have a name index as well as the 'as enumerated' format and, dare I say it as an HGS member, a big improvement on the HGS 1851 Census index. << ****** In defence of the HGS, the compiler of a census index has to strike a balance between the amount of information given in the index and the time and effort needed to compile it. When the first volume of the HGS 1851 Hampshire Census Index was published in 1980, it set the standard for census indexes at that time. Name/age/birthplace/folio number was judged to be the optimum amount of data, and the project took ten years to complete. If the entries had been transcribed in full, it could have taken twenty. The BFHS 1851 Berkshire Census Index followed, but was less useful than the Hampshire Index, because the Berkshire Index contained only name/age/folio number, with no birthplace shown. Much later, the BFHS produced a revised index which provided a full transcript of each entry. The HGS is also revising its 1851 indexes. Some have been found to contain errors, so many of the volumes are being re-checked against the census films. Each volume is being reformatted as a single sequence of surnames rather than ten or a dozen separate parish indexes. The birthplace is also being shown against each entry, thus avoiding the need to look up the birthplace using a code. The revised index is expected to take five years to complete. Whether a "whole county" CD will be produced remains to be seen. West Surrey FHS also chose to use name/age/birthplace/folio number when it revised its 1851 census index. In an ideal world, everything would be transcribed in full. In practice, many societies and individuals subscribe to the principle that "less is more", i.e. it is better to produce more indexes by including less in each index. Every researcher should view every relevant entry in a photographic copy of the original document, and the information in the HGS and WSFHS indexes is sufficient to locate relevant entries.

www.1837online.com latest update. We are delighted to announce that our re-indexing and re-scanning of the early Births, Marriages and Deaths from 1837 to 1866 was completed yesterday, ahead of schedule. The entire period from 1837 to 1983 is now indexed by the first three letters of a surname. As part of our ongoing site development programme, we continue to re-check indexing using dedicated staff and you should have seen a significant reduction in blank pages, missing pages and index errors. Of course, we continue to give customers an extra 10% in units whilst these modifications are taking place. If you have any suggestions for further enhancements, please e-mail them to us at info@1837online.com and, of course, please feel free to e-mail us at the same address, or to telephone us, with any queries that you may have.
