Pre Census Records For Researching Your Poorer Ancestors

Pre census records can be difficult for your poorer ancestors if you cannot find them in the parish registers. While our wealthier ancestors left wills and land documents, what records can be found for the less than wealthy? Don't despair! If you are lucky, there may be some records where you can find your pauper or working class ancestors in the centuries preceding the 19th century. In this video I explain what these are, and how to research them.

NB - I apologies for the quality of the audio in certain parts of this video - there was nothing I could do about this without completely re-recording, but I hope it doesn't detract too much from the information.
