Contacting the Libraries

This list is incomplete.
Please email me with either additional surnames or pedigrees if they appear in old books and can be scanned.

You may also be interested in the transcripts of Ince's Pedigrees. Thomas Ince collected notes from a variety of sources, including family bibles and word of mouth, about families in and around Wirksworth which is where he worked as a solicitor for many years. Not all of his informants gave him accurate information. Ince moved eventually to Wakefield. The hand written originals are at Derby LSL and were in a notebook, though no longer are. Photocopies are available from the LSL as above.
Transcripts of Ince's Pedigrees are published elsewhere on the Internet
