Tithe Records and Researching and Locating your Ancestors

 

Or watch on YouTube here.

At the recent Who Do You Think You Are? Live 2016 Nick Thorne spoke to the professional genealogist, author and teacher, Celia Heritage about tithe records for England and Wales and how useful they are for finding your mid-nineteenth century ancestors. If you are trying to flesh out your family tree with forebears from all levels of society at this time then these records are a wonderful resource. While you can see the maps and schedules in record offices up and down the country there is an easier way. It is to search the schedules and maps in the only online national collection at TheGenealogist (requires a Diamond subscription).

 

Celia Heritage is the author of a number of family history books including Researching and Locating your Ancestors published by Discover Your Ancestors Publishing.  £9.95 ISBN 978 1 911166 00 9
