See advert front cover Tracing 17th Century British Ancestors In the 17th century vital records, (births deaths and marriages) were not kept in any formal sense. Many historical events took place like The Gunpowder Plot, the Great Fire of London, the Civil War and the Mayflower set sail for the USA, but unless your ancestors were wealthy or “upper class” it is not assured that you will find any record of them. All is not lost however because in 1538 Henry VIII ordered all parishes to keep registers of baptisms, marriages and burials. While not all of these records survived – and some parishes ignored the edict - many are still available, some online. These are known as Early (or Old) Parish Registers or in some cases, Bishop’s Transcripts. So, to help locate some of those very early ancestors you could try https://archives. parliament.uk/research-guides/protestationreturns/ which is the closest you will find to a 17th century census. Other sites that could help are British History Online, British Newspapers 1600-1900, London Lives 16901800, and Old Bailey Online – a mixture of free and paid databases. For clues as to other records try The National Archives, https://www.nationalarchives. gov.uk/ or National Records of Scotland, National Library of Wales or the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland. The Facebook page of Gold Coast Family History Society has links to much of this information.
