  • New Release Westminster Joins the 1910 Lloyd George Domesday Records with Annotated Maps
    Press Release: New Release Westminster joins the 1910 Lloyd George Domesday Records with annotated maps TheGenealogist has just released the maps and field books for the Westminster area into its exciting record set, ​ The Lloyd George Domesday Survey. This new release can be used to find where an ancestor lived in 1910 to ​ 1915 in the area around Westminster. This unique combination of maps and residential data held by The National Archives has been digitised by TheGenealogist so that researchers can locate where an ancestor lived. The maps are large scale and exceptionally detailed with hand annotations that, in the majority of cases, allow family historians to find the exact property in the street. This release of Lloyd George Domesday Survey records covers Westminster and the area shown above Researchers often have difficulty using modern maps to find where ancestors lived as road names changed over time, the Blitz saw areas bombed to destruction, developers changed sites out of all resemblance from what had stood there before and lanes and roads were extinguished to build housing estates and office blocks. As these records are linked to the maps from the period this means that you have the ability to find the streets as they existed when the survey was carried out and often pinpoint where the old properties had once been. ● Links properties to extremely detailed ordnance survey maps used in 1910 ● Shows the original Field book giving a detailed description of the property ● Fully searchable by name, parish and street Complementing the maps on TheGenealogist are the accompanying Field Books that will provide researchers with detailed information relative to the valuation of each property, including the valuation assessment number, map reference, owner, occupier, situation, description and extent.

  • THE IMPACT of PAUPER SETTLEMENT 1691-1834* I a Woman Having a Settlement Married a Man with None: the Question Was
    James Stephen Taylor Past and Present n° 73, November 1976 THE IMPACT OF PAUPER SETTLEMENT 1691-1834* I A woman having a settlement Married a man with none: The question was. He being dead, If that she had, was gone? Quoth Sir John Pratt — Her settlement Suspended did remain, Living the husband: But, him dead, It doth revive again. Chorus of Puisne Judges Living the husband: But, him dead, It doth revive again. W. S. GILBERT MAY NEVER HAVE KNOWN OF THE KINDRED LYRICIST who wrote this anonymous verse in the early eighteenth century, but his work must have been familiar to those thousands of English- men who had reason to study guides to the statutes and judicial precedents collectively known as the Law of Settlement.1 Very simply, as it obtained between 1691 and 1834, the Law of Settlement (hereafter called the Law) established the circumstances under which an English or Welsh unit of poor law administration (hereafter called the parish) became liable to provide poor relief to an individual, and the legal means of deporting, under certain conditions, the individual (hereafter called the sojourner) who had no legal right to relief from the parish in which he dwelled.2 But the Law was not simple, and generations of lawyers derived income from litigious parish officers, intent on saving their parish from as many paupers as possible. So intricate in its applications, the Law could appear deceptively clear at the outset of a pauper * I wish to thank Professor A. H. John for inviting me to present an earlier version of this essay at a seminar at the Institute of Historical Research, Univ.

  • As a Result of Those Shopkeepe
    a ‘number of shops previously classed as dairies were transferred to the class grocers shops’ as a result of those shopkeepers beginning to sell groceries as well as dairy products.1 It is an interesting coincidence and no conclusions can be drawn without further evidence which is not available. However, there is no escaping the fact that Arthur enlisted on 28 April 1915 which was just over two weeks before Letitia Elsie died. It is very likely she was infected prior to his departure as measles has an incubation period of 7-21 days in which the child is apparently well. Pneumonia is a common complication and Leitita Elsie’s death certificate stated the cause of death to be bronchopmneumonia as well as measles.2 Arthur and Jane would never have realised about the infection or its possible source and it must be remembered that the infection could equally have come from elsewhere. It must have been awful for Jane to have to cope with her husband going to war, wondering if she would ever see him again, followed rapidly by the death of their child. As mentioned previously, Arthur was honourably discharged from the Army in April 1917 and seems to have returned to his previous occupation of greengrocer. Unfortunately, 1917 seems to have been another difficult year for this part of Paddington. The Public Health Report states that there were two exceptional storms on the 16 and 28 June. The writer comments that the ‘hourly falls were 52 and 37 times the hourly capacity of the sewers’. The result was overflowing sewers and flooding on a large scale.
