Sources

I have used a variety of sources in researching my family history, including the following:

• My own personal knowledge, visits to graveyards etc
• Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates
• Parish Registers (originals and published transcripts/indexes)
• Transcripts of Memorial Inscriptions
• Census Returns
• Wills and Death Duty Registers
• Roll of Honour websites
• Estate Papers
• Ordination Papers
• Trade and other Directories
• Apprenticeship Records
• Research into Tobacco Pipe Makers, especially in Yorkshire
• Books on Local History, Topography etc

I have also received information from a number of other people, and I am grateful for this.
