Findmypast Friday: Discover Devon In More Detail Than Ever

I received this information from Findmypast today:

                               ==========================================


This Findmypast Friday, there are over 380,000 new records for you to explore.

With updates to four existing English record sets, our collection has grown by 380,985 this week.

The biggest update comes to our UK Electoral Registers and Companies House directors, to which we've added 376,089 records for 2024. We've also bolstered our Devon parish record collection with brand-new baptisms, marriages and burials from 1924.

But that's not all - there's also a new English newspaper title and 50 updated publications for you to discover.

Electoral Registers & Companies House Directors

There are 376,089 modern electoral registers and Companies House director records for you to explore this week. These new additions span across Britain, and document the information of voters and company owners in 2024.

Devon Baptisms

We updated our Devon parish records with 1,849 baptism records from across the county. These new additions are all from the year 1924, so if your Devonian ancestor was baptised a hundred years ago, you may just spot their name within this set.

Devon Marriages

Our collection of Devon marriages has also had an update this week. There are 481 new transcriptions from the year 1924 for you to explore.

Devon Burials

Was your ancestor buried in Devon a hundred years ago? To round off our trio of parish church updates, we've added 2,566 burial records from 1924.  These new transcriptions are from parishes across the county. They may help shed light on your family tree's Devonian branches.

New pages from Burnley to Buxton

From Burnley to Buxton, there are 304,934 new pages for you to explore this week. We've added a brand new English title - the Cleckheaton & Spenborough Guardian - and updated 50 existing publications. Here's everything we added this Findmypast Friday.
