In this episode of Research Like a Pro, Nicole and Diana interview Jessica Morgan, an Accredited Genealogist specializing in U.K. research. They discuss strategies for researching English ancestry when traditional parish records of baptisms, marriages, and burials are unavailable. Jessica highlights the value of parish chest records, which contain documents like settlement papers, bastardy bonds, and apprenticeship indentures. These records can reveal an ancestor's origins, family relationships, and even their occupation. The hosts and guest also explore the significance of tax records in English genealogical research. They discuss various types of taxes, including Hearth and Window taxes, the Marriage Duty Act, Land Tax, and Poll Taxes. These records can provide valuable information about an ancestor's residence, property ownership, and social status, offering crucial clues for further research. Listeners will learn how to navigate alternative record sources when parish records are missing. They will gain a deeper understanding of the wealth of information that can be gleaned from parish chest records and tax records, and they will discover effective strategies for tracing their English ancestors.
