Im enjoying this so much and I would like to take my research a little bit further for each person. I've got basic things like census records and things like. Has anybody looked in to schools and what they were doing inbetween the census'. |

Well, first advice is to google for everything - getting photos of churches where they married, streets where they lived, school records,the type of work they did, insurance policies, google their names and the area and you may find a tree for them or records like workhouses, settlement certs or so on. Think of every possible thing that surrounded their lives and then google for that. If they were in London area, try Old Bailey online. Try to look for Wills - SOME up to 1858 on National Archives. You have ancestry? Try ww1 records and so on, just use your imagination as to what they may have done, seen, been and google. |

It has been said before that a useful aid to finding people between census returns are the town and county directories like Kellys and Whites.Have you had a look at the Historical Directories site where loads of directories are online.Ancestry also have started putting them online. |

Quite a lot of parishes did research for the Millennium and a lot of books and booklets were produced on local history. |

Wills are a good place to start. They are filled with all sorts of info. |
