Solving your London Family History Problems ** Tracing your ancestors back to the period before civil registration and the Victorian census returns can present a genuine challenge to most family historians. But if your family came from Middlesex/London, the problems that you’re likely to face can be even harder to overcome. The population of London doubled between 1801 and 1841 making it the most populated city in world. The administration of the area was enormously complicated. The records of the various authorities responsible for running London are now spread around a number of different record offices.This talk will explain how to access and make the most of the capital’s diverse collection of records and will give some useful tips on tracking down those elusive Middlesex/London ancestors. This talk at London Metropolitan Archives on Thursday 18 November from 2 to 3 pm is FREE but you must book in advance on 020 7332 3851. 23 November: **London During World War I - Guided Walk** Hear about the fascination and terror of the Zeppelin and Gotha bombing campaigns. Discover more about the internment of the German community, Belgian refugees, rationing, the women’s war and how some wounded soldiers entertained themselves. Meet at Holborn. Walk ends at Embankment. This guided walk on Tuesday 23 November from 11 am to 1 pm is £5. You must book in advance on 020 7332 3851. (Please note: the walk originally advertised for Monday 22 November has now sold out.) 29 November: **To The Rescue - Discover the history of the Royal Humane Society, Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund, Lloyd’s Medals and the Society for the Protection of Life >From Fire.** For over two hundred years these organizations have bestowed bravery awards to men and women including a Tsar, Grace Darling and Bram Stoker. The records of these organizations held by LMA tell the stories of the bravery of ordinary people in times of war and peace. There will be the opportunity to view documents from the collections.

All the major archives offer downloadable research guides and information leaflets from their websites but it can often be very difficult to get below the surface of a huge subject. Maybe we can help you here on the List. According to Cliff Webb's invaluable guides to Genealogical Research in Victorian London, from the early to mid Victorian period the churches closest to Worship Street in the timeframe would have been St Leonard, Shoreditch and St Mary Spital Square - the area is close to the parish boundary with Bethnal Green. And for Chiswell Street, St Paul's Bunhill Row Records of all at LMA and therefore theoretically should all be found via Ancestry - however this area is on the edge of the City itself so maybe they used one of the City churches. Folk here will doubtless be able to offer further advice and help. Maybe of interest, there is a "History and Genealogy Roadshow" in Cities across Australia and NZ through the rest of this month and whilst it may not be the place to answer detailed questions about research in Middlesex/London, it may be useful. Starting in Adelaide on 8th November, and ending up in Auckland on 24th, this event will presumably be advertised locally. Ann

Hi Bert, Was quite taken with the combination of occupations. Did any of your Seabrook family come to NSW -- We had a George Seabrook as a Inn Licensee, here in Denison Town and at Redbank (Dunedoo) in the 1850's - 1870's? I would need to look up the dates we have for him. I am the Publicity and Research Officer for our local Historical Museum. Would be good to hear if there is a chance he could be yours. Contact me off list, if you want to.
