Findmypast Friday: Search New Southwark Records and More

   I received this information from Findmypast today:

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



There are poor law records, marriages and more to discover this Findmypast Friday.

We added a total of 1,392,255 new London records to our collection this week. You can discover the lives of Southwark ancestors in more detail than ever, with rate books and poor law records spanning almost two hundred years.  We also bolstered our Greater London Marriage Index and added a trio of global newspaper titles.

Southwark Rate Books

We added 12,83,820 new Southwark rate book records spanning the 19th century this week. There are both images and transcriptions available for these new additions.

Southwark Poor Law records

There's also a brand new set to explore - these 82,455 Southwark poor law records cover the 1690s to the 1860s.

Greater London Marriage Index

Lastly, we added 25,980 marriage records from Westminster, Bromley-by-Bow and the East End to our existing Greater London Marriage Index.
