Not sure if this is exactly what you mean but when I go to A different area than the one I live in, I always buy the local parish/church magazine, as there is often useful numbers in them, Library opening hours etc.

Good thread Joy, thank you.

This little book is very useful -

(the National Archives) SMART FAMILY HISTORY by Geoff Swinfield

I bought it last year - £6.99 in paperback.

And for anyone who is interested in the Workhouse, the history of, the life, the people etc, this book is great
WORKHOUSE by SImon Fowler
I managed to get it 2nd hand from Amazon :-)

Dear Joy

Hello

Hope you are okay.


This is not technically a book recommendation but for OS maps:


www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk

Many date back to 1867 and onwards and map out most of the country.

The company add new maps for different areas and years all the time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The maps can be purchased from

Alan Godfrey Maps

Prospect Business Park,
Leadgate,
Consett,
Co Durham,
DH8 7PW,
England

Phone: 01207 583388

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the maps cost £2-50 each and there is a postage of about £1-50.

Research comes to life when you can see where your ancestors lived and worked and what industries/transport systems were developing.

Hope this helps

Take gentle care all
Best wishes
