Tracing Your Ancestors in the Public Record Office: 6th Edition (Public Record Office Handbooks, No. 19)

Now in its sixth edition, this is a comprehensive guide to the vast collection of court and government documents held at the Public Record Office, the British equivalent of the National Archives. This collection of census reports, military service records, wills, lawsuits, and tax documents is particularly useful for those interested in tracing English, Scottish, Irish, and Welsh ancestors. This new edition will be the first to cover the landmark 1901 Census, whose information has just been released to the public. Among 75 other updates are immigration, Army, Navy, and Merchant Marine records.
