I received this information from Findmypast today:
===========================================
From social history deep dives to 17th century marriages, there's a wealth of knowledge available this week.
If there was ever a release you could get lost in, this is it. From the stories that saturated Ireland in the 1800s onwards to 358 years of marriage bonds, here's a rundown of everything that's new.
Are you a social history buff? Then this collection is for you.
The Genealogical Society of Ireland, originally named the Dun Laoghaire Genealogical Society, was founded in 1990 and have been publishing these journals regularly since 1992. Within their pages, you can find articles covering a huge range of social history topics, including school lists, shipwrecks, military movements, murder cases, the genealogies of selected families and even the 1937 winners of the ever-important sultana cake and shortbread baking competition.
If you're searching for a particular ancestor, you'll be able to search by their full name, and you may just find a richly-detailed story about their life. On the other hand, it's the perfect collection to spend a few hours browsing. You can flip through it page by page, or head to 'Article title' on the advanced search page, which will allow you to scroll through the subjects of each article and pick the ones that catch your eye. You can also search by free text - for example, if you're looking for information regarding the Great Irish Famine, you can search 'Ireland famine' and find an array of relevant articles.
Though these journals were published throughout the 1990s onwards, the stories within them document events that occurred all the way through the 1800s to the mid 1900s, giving you a broad and bold scope of life in Ireland throughout multiple generations.
Originally available as an image browse, we have now transcribed these 218,000 Norfolk marriage bonds and added them to our Britain, Marriage Licenses collection.
These records span 358 years from 1557 to 1915, and while most of the earlier records follow the same set format, later records may include additional information such as their residence
Notable marriages in this collection include that of Horatia Nelson, the illegitimate daughter of Lord Nelson, to her spouse Reverend Phillip Ward. You could also find the marriage of Jerimiah Coleman and Ann Colman, the former of which later bought a mustard company and founded Britain's favorite, Colman's Mustard.
If there was any doubt of the fact that we have the largest online collection of Irish records, let that be dispelled. This Waterford collection contains Grand Jury query and account books, assize presentments and contract details throughout the 18th century.
The Grand Jury was the main arm of local government in the 18th century, with responsibility for:
- roads and bridges
- lunatic asylums
- county infirmaries and fever hospitals
- dispensaries
- courthouses
- gaols
The names found in these pages may have been maintenance workers, staff or suppliers, or may have paid a fee to the Grand Jury.
We've brought you another 305,000 newspaper pages across 131 new and updated titles.
