Whether your ancestors were less than law abiding or educators, this week's new additions are bound to throw up some surprises in your family tree.

Previously untranscribed, we have added occupation and place of birth to over 22 million records, so not only will you see this information on the transcriptions, you can now search by these fields using the advanced search page.

Our next update sees 62,569 new records adding to our existing collection of England & Wales, Crime, Prisons & Punishment records.
These new records cover 1915 to 1923 and will give you all the juicy details of your criminal ancestors. Be sure to check the original images for extra information, including a remarks column where you may find occupations, relations or references to another case they were involved in.
