Marriage and Census Indexes for Family Historians 7th ed.

This is an amazingly useful little book for it is mainly a guide to unpublished indexes to marriage records and census records in Great Britain and Ireland. For the most part they are privately compiled indexes, usually unknown or inaccessible to the researcher except through the pages of this book. But it is also a guide to the many recently published marriage and census indexes. Arranged by counties, and thereunder by type of record (marriage, census, etc.), each entry gives the place or places of coverage of the index (county, town, parish, village, etc.), dates of coverage, a description of the contents, and the name and address of the compiler, with tips on requesting a search in the index. Vastly expanded, this edition includes all new compilations to 1998.
