Findmypast Friday: Explore East Anglia Additions

  I received this information from Findmypast today:

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

There are new records from Essex and Suffolk to discover.

If you've got roots in the East of England, this week's new and updated collections may reveal key details about the lives of your ancestors.

We've added a brand new set of 17th-century tax lists from Suffolk, and updated our Norfolk marriage and bann records.

Suffolk Hearth Tax Lists, 1662-1675

This new collection documents the payment of the Hearth Tax, levied in England and Wales in the mid-17th century. Uncover key house history insights within these 101,463 new records.

We've also updated our Essex marriage records, with 23,278 new additions spanning almost four centuries.

Exciting new specialist titles...

138,695 pages joined our newspaper collection this week, with three new publications, including women's magazine The World and His Wife.

New titles:
  • Cycle Record, 1888-1890
  • Telescope, 1824-1825
