Dodgy claims: the Landed Gentry Drews of Ireland and Devonshire

With evidence suggesting that some of Carol Baxter’s Irish ancestors descended from an Irish Landed Gentry family that itself descended from a Landed Gentry family living in Devonshire in the 1500s, she jumped at the opportunity to learn the skills of pre-Reformation research. It took her on a fascinating journey as she questioned what had long been accepted, and pursued sources that led her to break new ground. This seminar uses these Drew families as a case study in undertaking pre-Reformation historical research.

Civil registration began in England and Wales in 1837. Before that there were parish records of baptisms, marriages and burials. Tracing your English ancestors can include more than these, as you also can look at censuses, wills and probates, apprenticeships, directories, newspapers, maps and local history - and more.
