Historical Records

Very few of the people listed here have been identified and linked into a tree. However, the information about them provides a valuable insight into how our ancestors lived. Many of these records describe someone in trouble with the law. This is not a comment on the general lawlessness of Plucks and Pluckroses but merely a reflection of the type of event that gets recorded. In all cases the source, usually a public archive, is listed.
