:To help the family history researcher we have created a dedicated Family History section in our search room. Here you will find copies of the records that people have found most useful for tracing their ancestors, including monumental inscriptions and lists of men who might be liable for military service. Once you have finished looking at these we may be able to suggest other records that might be of use to you. These include Registers of Electors, Valuation Rolls, poor relief records, school admission registers and estate records.
