An IR91 index book from the collection
Subscription site TheGenealogist.co.uk has released the first part of the Lloyd George ‘Domesday Survey’, which can help family historians find where an ancestor lived in England and Wales in 1910.
Researchers often cannot find where ancestors lived due to road name changes, or destruction caused by wartime bombing or later development. However, the unique combination of maps and residential data, held by The National Archives (TNA) and now becoming available at TheGenealogist, can precisely locate an ancestor’s house on large scale (5ft to the mile) hand-annotated OS maps of London that plot the exact property in 1910. Accompanying field books provide further information, such as valuation, map reference, owner, occupier, situation, description and extent.
