occasionally derive from information in the published sale catalogue
but otherwise through personal observation.

Official records
BMD FreeBMD is an ongoing project to transcribe
the Civil Registration index of births, marriages and deaths
for England and Wales, and to provide free Internet access to
the transcribed records; it contains partial index information
for the period 1837-1983 at www.freebmd.org.uk
. This site has been used extensively in identifying birth
and death dates. Other BMD web sites, and the original records
of births, marriages and deaths, potentially useful sources of
information, have not been studied.
Boyd Percival Boyd's index, The Apprentices of Great
Britain, covering many apprenticeships, 1710-74, abstracted
from records of tax paid on premiums for apprenticeships. This
index is available at the Society of Genealogists, the Guildhall
Library and elsewhere. Another series, London Apprenticeship

records, is available through a cooperation between the Society
of Genealogists and the Origins Network web site at The
Origins Network.
Censuses Reference is made to the records of successive

to 7 April in the censuses for 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and
1901. These censuses are available online at The
National Archives. In the 1841 census, ages were generally
rounded down to the nearest five years.
PCC wills References to wills are to the series of Prerogative
Court of Canterbury Wills, 1384-1858, held by the National Archives.
These cover wills proved (formally approved) by this court, covering
the relatively wealthy individuals living mainly in the south
of England and most of Wales (what was originally the ecclesiastical
province of Canterbury), available on a fee basis at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/wills.asp
, and free at the National Archives. Wills dating to after 1858
have not been studied.

people ever published, containing accounts of over 100,000 criminal
trials held at London's central criminal court, 1674-1834, see
The Proceedings of
the Old Bailey.
Rate books Rate books have not been studied; they have
the potential to provide further information, especially for
18th and early 19th century makers.
Scotlands People Birth, marriage, death and census records
for Scotland are available on this pay-to-view official government
source for genealogical data for Scotland at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.

Dispatch and People's Political and Social Reformer, Pall Mall
Gazette and Reynolds's Newspaper.
The Art-Union Periodical published monthly, 1839-48.
The Artist Periodical published monthly from 1927,
examined selectively.
The Scotsman Available on subscription at http://archive.scotsman.com
as The Scotsman Digital Archive 1817-1950, with full text search
mechanism.
The Times Available on subscription at Gale/Times
Digital Archive as The Times Digital Archive 1785-1985, and
free at many reference libraries. There are inadequacies in the
full text search mechanism.
The Year's Art Periodical published annually 1880-1947,
examined up until 1920, compiled late in the year preceding publication.
British Phone Books British Phone Books, 1880-1984, Releases
1-3, an online resource useful for establishing business addresses,
available at Ancestry.com,
containing phone books published between 1880, the year after
the public telephone service was introduced, and 1984, from the
historic phone book collection held by BT Archives, providing
near full county coverage for England as well as containing substantial
records for Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
Trade directories Trade directories are available at the
Guildhall Library, London, and elsewhere on microfilm. Increasingly,
they are being made available on the Internet. Kent's London
Directory, 1794, can be accessed in trancription at www.londonancestor.com/kents/kents-menu.
Numerous pre-1920 English and Welsh directories are reproduced
in the original at the site maintained by the University of Leicester
at www.historicaldirectories.org,
with full-text search mechanism. Directories were often published
around the start of the year, thus recording businesses at the
locations they occupied late in the previous year. In compiling
business addresses, no allowance has been made for this situation.
Details obtained from monthly and daily periodicals are usually
more current, except where announcements were repeated from issue
to issue.
Whitley papers British Museum, Department of Prints &
Drawings, volumes of newspaper cuttings and typewritten slips,
put together by William Thomas Whitley (1858-1942), presented

was acquired. Some cards from other sources have been filed in
this sequence at the British Museum.
