18th-century ancestors

Laura Berry's feature in the December 2015 issue of Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine focuses on records that are useful for researching 18th-century ancestors. Journeying through a century remembered for wars with France, the founding of Australia, and the madness of King George III, Laura gives tips for finding newspaper articles, parish and workhouse records, naval and military papers, wills, poll books and estate papers. The magazine will be found in all good newsagents, and a digital edition can be purchased online.
