Hello to all,

I am new to this and just wondered if there was any way to go further back than church records.

I have my 8 x great grandfather Henrici Goodhead 1660 from the St Modwens church records Burton on Trent, but the church did not exist before this time.

Would there have been anywhere else that kept records of local people? Monks in the Burton abbey perhaps?

Regards

Neil
