<div class="MsoNormal">
Which database would you search, first:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>i.e. names from Lancashire church records of a)
a database-pool of 21 million names, or, from b) an older Lancashire church
records database pool of merely 3.8 million names? The choice seems quite obvious! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet I'd wager to say (though I'm not a betting person) that you didn't know that when you search for ancestors in strictly FamilySearch’s “Historical
Records” page (HRP—see <a href="https://bit.ly/2RnsumQ">https://bit.ly/2RnsumQ</a>),
that your search is automatically limited (with hardly any exception) with fractional lower
numbers of names in the old databases found there in that portion the website! So, user [of the FamilySearch
Historical Records page] beware! <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While it’s true most of these old published stand-alone databases (in HRP) come with images attached (a wonderful feature), those databases, however, <i>are not often updated</i> with
fresh, newly indexed name entries!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As FamilySearch indexes close to a million
names a day), what happens to fresh name entries from newly indexed records,
and where can you access and search them? The answer and the purpose of this brief article is to reveal that just about <b><i>all n</i><i>ewly indexed names are automatically funneled
or processed--in almost real-time--to their databases found in FamilySearch’s <u>main
search engine </u></i></b>(SEP—>see <a href="https://bit.ly/2zgLdsi">https://bit.ly/2zgLdsi</a>). So always choose wisely when using FamilySearch.org to search for ancestors: Choose ALWAYS to <i>first use</i> the main search engine
page (SEP--see above screen-shot), when searching for ancestors online! To do this, follow these simple steps when you visit FamilySearch.org's main search
(engine) page (SEP—<a href="https://bit.ly/2zgLdsi">https://bit.ly/2zgLdsi</a>): </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
1) type the ancestor’s data </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) then type in name of an i.e. England county in
the “Location” field</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3) click “Search”!<br />
<br />
Because you are using the main search engine, you are now searching the best, most
comprehensive and updated county-wide datasets provided by FamilySearch! And FamilySearch has been indexing Church of England and Nonconformist church registers since at least 1969 and has the most published data online (Greater Middlesex [partially] and Oxfordshire [mostly] excluded).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here’s the county by county current comparison of England county dataset
total numbers in both SEP and HRP. When you see the totals, you will realize you
are drastically limiting the numbers of names against which you are searching when using
the (HRP) database sets in the Historical Records page vs the when you use the main Search Engine page (SEP)<b>:</b><br />

have emigrated but were unable to, due to poverty
or impoverishment. Many Irishmen during the Great Famine years who did
embark were in such sickened and critically weakened condition
that death followed many while traversing the high seas to their new
world home.
<br />
Generally, the Irishman's reasons for emigrating--if not compelled to
do so, to countries abroad were due to an intolerable convergence of
circumstances including, but not limited to:
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>dire economic conditions that destituted families
</li>
<li>austere political policies such as the Crown's Penal laws (from 1695-1829)
</li>
<li>a series of circumstances surrounding devastating crop failures especially in the mid-19th Century.
</li>
<li>social and religious persecution against most nonconformists and Catholics (the dominant segment of Irish society)
</li>
</ul>
Here's a little closer look at the devastating effects of the Penal Laws and other reasons for emigrating.<br />

Many local people began their long emigration trail
during the 1800s, being rowed out to catch a passing schooner bound for
Glasgow or Londonderry (see above view) where they would embark on one of the many
emigrant ships to Australia, New Zealand or the Americas. <br />
<br />
If the 17th and 18th century Penal laws of the Royal Crown
leveled at many Nonconformist societies, and in Ireland--especially Catholic society and later, i.e. the Highland Clearances in Scotland--could mostly be summed up in one word: "brutalisation" seems to fit the bill for
those times. For example, from at least as early as the year 1603, imagine a family homestead which
prior to this time was once held by the family for several centuries,
but was suddenly ripped from beneath their feet and which forced many
onto the 'street' in abject poverty practically overnight.
<br />
These and other intolerable conditions in Ireland forced Irish (especially Catholic) emigrants to leave the country.
<br />
There were four central motivating factors which caused so many Irishmen to turn their backs on their homeland, in order to escape and thrive
in a new existence abroad<b>:</b>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Political_Culture_of_Persecution"> Political Culture of Persecution </span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Austere taxation and tithes policies
</li>
<li>Continual doctrine of ‘Conquer and divide’ policies enacted over centuries seized and evicted lands from native Irish Catholics</li>
<li>Could not hold public office
</li>
<li>Could not practice law</li>
<li>Cruel landlords (not all--as there were compassionate ones among the many)
</li>
<li>Sponsorship of land price increases ('rent-racking')--allowed
to unbearable rate levels--tossed hoards of already poor families, ‘out
onto the street’
</li>
<li>Could not build a (i.e. Catholic) chapel/parish or live within 5 miles of the civil parish church </li>
<li>Disallowance of land ownership for all Catholics
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Economic"> Economic </span></h3>
<ul>
<li>British government backed England’s grain exportations—but not Ireland’s; farmers emigrated
</li>
<li>New farming techniques increased output, decreasing the need for agricultural laborers
</li>
<li>Manufacturing industries sprang up, causing less emphasis in farming
</li>
<li>Irish poor-law provided means by which vast numbers were granted mostly free passage to countries abroad

<br />
A culture of social and religious persecution by the local Protestant-led and British Crown government was manifest in utter disregard and total distrust of Catholics’ loyalty to the Crown, and escalated to harsher laws enacted, such as the 1695 Penal laws passed by the Crown government, which stripped many Nonconformists and of course Catholics in Ireland of their civil rights to—
<br />
<ul>
<li>choose between attendance in a Catholic, or a Protestant place of worship</li>
<li>vote
</li>
<li>enter a profession
</li>
<li>receive an education
</li>
<li>serve as officers in British armed forces
</li>
<li>teach in, or enroll in colleges
</li>
<li>defend themselves with weapons
</li>
<li>be employed or an employer in a trade or in commerce
</li>
<li>own a horse of greater value than five pounds
</li>
<li>purchase nor lease land
</li>
<li>inherit land or moveables from a Protestant
</li>
<li>buy or receive a gift of land from a Protestant</li>
<li>rent any land that was worth more than thirty shillings a year
</li>
<li>reap from his land any profit exceeding a third of the rent
</li>
<li>be a guardian to a child
</li>
<li>hold a life annuity </li>
<li>leave infant children under Catholic guardianship
</li>
<li>accept a mortgage on land in security for a loan
</li>
<li>attend Catholic worship
</li>
<li>educate his child
</li>
<li>be instructed by a local Catholic teacher nor be educated abroad</li>
<li>practice their own religion outside of the Protestant faith </li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Crop_Failures"> Crop Failures </span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Devastating crop failures—especially The Great Famine from 1846 to 1851 decimated or starved to death, nearly a million people
</li>
<li>British government’s lack of food aid to Ireland during The
Great Famine coerced nearly half the surviving population to leave
Ireland
</li>
<li>Famine brought abject poverty, severe malnutrition inducing poor health, and adversely affected (to some--even death) 3-4 million Irish
</li>
<li>During the Great Famine years: Grains out of Ireland, were exported to England, while Irish were dying from the famine or causes due to it
</li>
</ul>
Overall, some of the great positives borne out of these waves of Irish emigrants was the fact that millions the world over, have benefited from their rich Irish heritage. On the backs of their respective Irish ancestors, each descendant (or not) has reaped the benefits of solid industrial and manufacturing infra-structures in their current societies such as in the Americas--the building of the extensive railroad, canals, steel and iron foundries, highways and remote byway systems, and often strong political leadership roles played in the evolvement and development of each nation's local and national governments.<br />

For drawing accurate conclusions and connections to prior generations in especially the pre-1858 and/or pre-civil registration (pre-1837) era, few records do so any better than wills. Where extant, they often play a major role in genealogical provenance. <br />
<br />
Recently, however, the 'difficulty' level has just been majorly adjusted and turned down a couple of notches! Why? <br />
Did you know that just about all of England's counties now have indexes--most of them quite significant--available online?<br />
<br />
Those who use and research in England's probate records--including wills, administrations/admons, inventories, codicils and etc., may also be very pleased to learn that wiki.familysearch.org (click "England", then click the county of interest, then "Probate") gives quick step-by-steps for researching in and pointing you to each rich online county resources to these records. <br />
<br />
The key to using probate records is knowing in and by which probate court jurisdiction your ancestor's parish of residence at death--was covered. And the Wiki provides you not only with one but several (ranked) possible probate court jurisdictions in which the target parish comes under--critical information for deciding which court[s] to search. For example: The F.S. Wiki points you to David Wright's all-London Wills Index ~1750 to 1858 (now at FindMyPast).<br />
The Wiki is updated with similar information on all new critical online resources researchers need to more quickly locate wills, by displaying and sharing links to these online indexes to wills (and other records). And the best part? Most of them are free or at low cost to you. <br />
<br />
Thanks to the Wiki, you can easily determine that most England counties now have online indexes to wills, admons and other probate records. Amazingly, only a few counties do <em>not</em> offer much online, but which is constantly changing. <br />
<br />
Current online Internet offerings, would you believe, renders finding probate records in England significantly easier, thus making research in original probate records themselves, a lot more fun!Phillip Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16045391574730882730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607597581869965238.post-22163058736172878032013-04-16T00:28:00.000-06:002013-05-05T20:07:42.169-06:00London Huguenot Record Treasures at FamilySearchEngland and the especially the greater London region by 1686 became a vast refuge for many French Huguenots. France's King placed a virtual death warrant on all Huguenots, declaring each person in a sense, as 'enemies of the state', and which flushed numerous among their flocks, out into the world, including North America, South Africa, West Indies, Scandinavia, Russia and other places.<br />
<br />
Records of the French Huguenot chapels in the Greater London region are quite extensive. Over a century, these registers have been published by the Huguenot Society of Great Britain (London). They have also been microfilmed formerly by the Genealogical Society of Utah (now FamilySearch.org). In particular, the christenings now, like never before, have been mostly indexed and transcribed and made available online at FamilySearch.org.<br />
<br />
The following is a list of those French Huguenot chapels of Greater London and the ranges of years, for which christenings are now available to be searched--at FamilySearch.org. Note that most marriages after 1754 were required by the law to have been performed in Anglican or that is--Church of England parishes; as well, burials of Huguenots also often occurred in the local parish churchyard; or in (Greater) London Nonconformist burial grounds such as Spa-Fields, Bunhill Fields cemeteries<b>:</b><br />

In mean, after all is said and done, paper itself is valued only so much. So just why the draconian price-increase can only be construed as price-gouging.<br />
<br />
On a positive note, Irish researchers will be thrilled to learn that FindMyPast.ie is starting a new webpage for Ireland, with free searches in their 21million name database, which is drawn from not only births, marriages and deaths (up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties), but from newspaper notices, wills, and other record sources. Free searches commence on Thursday, January 24, 2013.<br />

Out of this region's numerous townships and cities (there were at least 30 Greater London township boroughs by the year 1870), and London's east-end held well over 50 Jewish synagogues. The United Synagogue held heirarchical jurisdiction over these congregations.<br />

Lancashire Ancestral Research Un-plugged!Lancashire is one of the most complex (and populated ) counties in which to trace ancestry. Lancashire originally had only about 76 parishes, and unlike most other England counties, was comprised by far of mostly (over 400) chapels of ease (chapelries) of the Church of England, each of which subdivided the parish to which it was attached. These numerous smaller chapels of ease and district chapels comprise a vast portion of its geographical tapestry and each one possessed registers of baptisms, and sometimes burials, and in only a few isolated cases, marriages, i.e. in the pre-1754 or, post-1837 eras.<br />
Key Strategy: Always be certain to search for your ancestor[s] in ALL chapelries of a parish and their registers as well in the registers of its ancient parish.<br />
<br />
Because of this unique attribute in Lancashire church records research, identifying each chapel's parish to which each was attached is paramount to thoroughness in research. <i>Accurately </i>identifying <i>all</i> chapels was until recently fairly difficult, and especially required comprehensive, diligent study in more than one or two reference aids in order to accurately list all chapels and churches. <br />
<br />
However, today, I am thrilled to announce that starting November 12, 2012, <a href="https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Lancashire">FamilySearch's Wiki</a> for Lancashire has just made researching in the county of Lancashire a much less formidable task! Editors and compiler-volunteers for the last 14 months have performed all the leg-work and due diligence to simplify and bring to you and your desktop or laptop--almost all available online resources at no or little cost--links to Lancashire's vast and complex tapestry of churches, chapels and parish registers' online data content! The links to online data include to as late as the twentieth century! And, as accurately as can be determined--a formal List of all chapels of ease, chapelries, district churches, and parochial chapels lying within the boundary of each ancient parish, and with mentions of most or all other denominations found within each parish and/or township boundary (as of at least 1851). <br />
<br />
For the first time, Lancashire researchers no longer have to do the nearly futile due diligent study to try to determine all chapels attached to a parish, because the Wiki user is introduced to not only a page for each chapel or district chapelry (with links to online data), but with also a link to the page[s] to the ancient parish (to which it was attached). *The Parish pages provides researchers with a comprehensive list of the names of <i>all </i>chapelries, district churches, and ecclesiastical parishes found within the boundary of each parish and, with available <i>links</i> to each's online data--plus much more! <br />
<br />
So test FamilySearch's Lancashire Wiki's "Parish" pages today, and discover your family ancestry more quickly than ever! <br />
<br />
Here are the links that take you directly to the critical pages:<br />

Recent changes and modifications in the ‘search’ features in the FamilySearch search engine now provide researchers with powerful functionality for running their “searches”. Not only from a professional genealogist’s view, but from any researcher’s perspective, these upgrades now make the FamilySearch search engine one of the most powerful search engines on the world wide web. And users/researchers may now customize their very own “search” parameters in order to maximize their chances of finding correct data. No other search engine allows such search features!<br />
<br />
In past versions of FamilySearch, how many times have you or others—knowing critical data on an ancestor was in FamilySearch’s databases, yet the limited functionality in the “search” engine prevented you from being able to perform or set the kind of “search” parameters necessary to successfully obtain or glean that data. And a huge frustration it has been!<br />
<br />
Not anymore!<br />
<br />
Here are eleven important “search engine” features available to users in the current FamilySearch which help you find data in the FamilySearch system. Each feature and filter can be an important in making your search experience effective and more successful. Few users, researchers, professional genealogists know about these critical and helpful search features—that they are even offered or that “searches” can even be run in such ways. These “search” parameters/strategies are not yet mentioned in the FamilySearch.org “Help” tutorials, but will, shortly.<br />
<br />
The eleven key points and features (and there are certainly more than these) are worthy of disseminating and sharing as they will help more researchers have more successful experiences. These features apply not just with conducting England searches, but for just about any and all countries with data in the FamilySearch system.<br />
<br />
<b>Eleven “Search ” Features & Filters</b><br />
The current FamilySearch search engine now allows users to--<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Search given-names only, for a specific or very localized area and narrowed time-frame (with no surname): Great for 1) performing a marriage search when the surname of a spouse isn’t known at all; 2) when you don’t find an ancestor under the standard spelling of a surname; this feature also is crucial for 3) effective searches i.e. in all patronymic countries, such as in Scandinavia, Iceland, Wales, and in Jewish research, etc. Example: Try searching for “Elidad Davis” born in London 1611. Then try searching just under the given-name only—“Elidad”. Note: Of 2 London entries, one is “Elidad Dauis”[sic]. (It should have been indexed under the surname “Davis”, but wasn’t.)<br />
<br />
2. Similar to the above: Search on just the surname only (if known)! Great for performing 1) a marriage search when the given-name of a spouse isn’t known at all or is not known precisely, i.e. Mary or Mary Ann or Marian[n]e. Or 2) when you’re researching a person with two or more given names (and it’s not known for certain which name they used in life).<br />
<br />
3. Search a birth year and a small place-name ONLY—such as a town, a chapelry or small parish--i.e. I typed the year “1833” and “Brierley Hill, Staffordshire, England”—without typing in ANY names—given or surname—and found an ancestor’s brother. This is because the system now provides users the ability to bring up ALL entries pertaining to a specific place-name/parish, and for a short range of years!<br />
<br />
4. After running a search, and after the data "results" appear, users now have the option to utilize 1) the "filters" which appear in the left-hand margin, such as "Collections", "Birthplace", "Marriage Place", etc. However, not all of these filters are yet completely installed, but will be shortly; these filters allow you to drill down to a specific place-name or year[s] and a particular surname--which may result in some very clean "hits"; and/or 2) users can re-run their search by clicking "Refine your Search". This can be done by picking a specific year and/or a more specific place/church name, etc. or, 3) at the Main Menu (of FamilySearch's main page), users can scroll down and click “Browse Records Collections” (scroll towards the bottom of the page), and pick a specific database in which you want to run your search. Your search will be relevant strictly according to the record data pertaining to that particular record type; i.e. allows you to search census only, or church only data.<br />
<br />
5. Users may now run searches using a wildcard(*). For example, on just the surname of “Sm*th”, type in “St Gregory by St Paul, London” for the year 1590. Unlike the former familysearch.org search engine, as long as the search parameters are set at a specific level. Note: Scroll several times and Smyth[e] with Smith and even Smeth all appear under London.<br />
<br />
6. Finding difficult, variant-spelled surnames, i.e. Thibou--T[h][i/e]b[a/eau/ou etc., is much less a problem to locate in the system: Users can now perform searches with up to at least three wildcard characters (asterisks—“*”), for any names. Type thus: Th*b*, or, T*b*u*. See searching only on the last portion or surname prefixes (see no. 9 below).<br />
<br />
This is a great way to locate as many possible spellings for difficult, variantly-spelled surnames, such as in cases of Polynesian, old French, Native American, Huguenot, and Slavic (especially) etc., surnames. Note: The search “results” or “hits” may now be filtered by specific locality, time period, gender, residence, record collection etc.<br />
<br />
7. Search for “Smyth” ONLY returns “Smyth[e]” results! No more Smyth mingled with Smith! Type in “Smythe” and then click the little “Exact” match box, which brings up only those “hits” which match your (search) criteria, i.e. Smythe only—no Smith with Smeth or Smeath entries!<br />
<br />
8. To conduct a Parent search (to find all the siblings of an ancestor in the FamilySearch system)--can be performed by clicking on "Parent"; then type in just the given and surname of the father; type no given names of any children at all.<br />
In pre-1700 England searches, use the father's given and surname only; often mothers' given-names are not recorded in baptism registers prior to 1650 and thus are not retrieved when typed in.<br />
<br />
Also, by utilizing the "Parent" search, users can now better determine all children born to a single parent (i.e. illegitimate births/baptisms). Click “Parent” and type in her her given and maiden name. <br />
<br />
9. Use the wild card feature: When you don’t know or are unsure of the spelling of the prefix or a large portion of (the beginning of) a surname, no problem—users may use the wildcard (*) in front of the surname, then merely type the last portion of the surname as it is known, i.e. as in the above surname of Thibou, thus: *bou. Or, visa versa, at the end of the name—Thi*!! Frankly, what family history search engine allows users to search on a i.e. surname without the first two or three letters (prefix) on it?<br />
<br />
10. <b>"Exact Match" only. </b>This little box sits on the right-side of each given name, surname, place-name, parent and spouse name[s] boxes. Check-off this box <b><i>if</i></b> you are completely certain of the spelling. Even <i>if </i>you believe you are certain of the correct spelling, use only with keen discretion and caution! because it will dramatically change the "hits" returned! It used prudently, it tends to return "hits" which are more accurate, clean and relevant to each search. And instead of returning i.e. 5,678 "hits", most of which are irrelevant, 'fluff' or otherwise unwanted "hits"!<br />
<br />
11. <b>Learn immediately if a Parish or Town vital records have been indexed</b>. <br />
Did you ever wish to know if any parish and its church registers are indexed and searchable, and for a certain range of years? Similar to number 3 (above). You can search to determine if a parish registers of i.e. marraige or baptisms or burial data content is (indexed) and in FamilySearch's databases system: Merely type in the accurate spelling of the parish or township place in either the "Birth", or "Marriage", or "Death" text box--without typing anything else! (See the F.S. Catalog for correct place-name spellings.) This search retrieves <i>every </i>single entry from an indexed/extracted church or township record!<br />

<b>Batch Number Search: Back—by popular demand!</b><br />
While redundant of no. 3 above, the ‘old’ batch number “search” has been restored as a “search” feature of FamilySearch. Now, you have the option to run searches on old batch numbers; you can include searches to be run on parents’ names, names of spouse[s], or users can view all names pertaining to a single Batch number (see no. 3 above)—by leaving the names fields blank.<br />
<br />
These “search” features in the FamilySearch search engine now prove to be a tremendous boon to users and researchers worldwide. Moreover, these new “search” standards establish FamilySearch as a trendsetter with benchmark “search” capabilities other websites (with databases) may wish to follow—including archives, libraries, repositories, societies, universities and even business corporations!<br />
<br />
<b>Improvements on “Results” - forthcoming:</b><br />
We are promised that the “hits” resulting from initial searches in the above “search” features, are still being heavily worked on and ‘tweaked’ even more in order to become more discriminant, relevant and specific by being better ranked, more alpha-arranged, and arranged more by country and county—without having to use the, i.e. "Advanced Search" or “Exact” match features!<br />
<br />
<b>Your Feedback </b><br />
If you are still having problems finding your ancestor[s], and wish to notify FamilySearch of a specific problem, send us your “feedback” with specific step by step instructions to program engineers so they can accurately reconstruct (validate) your problem[s]—in order to correct the problem[s] or issues!<br />
We encourage constructive feedback for suggesting enhancements and/or corrections to FamilySearch. <i><a href="https://www.familysearch.org/help/feedback">Feedback</a> which engineers use is that which isolates a specific problem, step by step to help them to validate it, and then fix it--and is that which receives their <u>highest</u> priority.</i>Phillip Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16045391574730882730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607597581869965238.post-6350277606340994192011-01-04T15:42:00.004-07:002012-11-30T16:18:19.003-07:00Armagh: Newry Catholic Parish 'Un-Peeled'!My son-in-law's immigrant ancestor, James O'Neil came from Ireland to St Louis in the 1880's from County Armagh, Parish of Newry (which also spills over into a portion of County Down as well). The surname O'Neil[l] dots the countryside there. In his case, his Great Grandfather's family was the only Roman Catholic family--living in the all-Protestant townland of Altnaveigh within this parish.<br />
<br />
In attempting to construct his Catholic family's genealogy, I learned--the hard way, that not only was there one Roman Catholic parish in Newry, but rather--there were officially four churches built within that faith--one was and is the celebrated St Peter's Cathedral; another was built within the township-proper, and two chapels were built just outside the township, one at Shinn (according to the Lewis' <em>Topographical Dicionary of Ireland)</em> and another at Glenn (according to the 1844 Irish Roman Catholic [Church] Directory! The National Library of Ireland in Dublin, had no record or listing of these other three chapels!<br />
<br />
Just another reason why Ireland research can be so tricky!Phillip Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16045391574730882730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607597581869965238.post-81981909870743474302010-10-29T07:37:00.041-06:002012-11-12T14:15:48.063-07:0018th to 20th Century Population Growth Problematic in Lancashire ResearchGreater London tops the list as one the most populated counties in the country of England. This is because of the sheer magnitude of its population and massive layout of its cities, boroughs, and towns and villages. Couple this with the fact that it is also comprised of various portions of five counties in pre-1900 history-- including all of the counties of the city (proper) of London and Middlesex, Northeast Surrey, Northwest Kent and a very few parishes in the County of Essex.<br />
<br />
Also at the top of the list of populated counties is Lancashire. Did you know that from ancient times it possessed only approximately 69 ancient parishes? By 1601, Lancashire had just over 120,000 inhabitants. By the 1861 census, Lancashire had a population of approaching 2 and a half million people (compare to Yorkshire's 1.5 million). Imagine--one of the most populated counties by the mid-19th century--had only 69 ancient parishes!<br />
<br />
So what was behind the dramatic increase in populations from 1700 to 1900? More than any other county in England, the impact of the industrial revolution pounded especially Lancashire with dramatic and constant growth. The influx of migrants into Lancashire's borders ran into literally hundreds of thousands through two centuries! This caused officials of the Church of England to scramble to try to cover all the bases in meeting the needs and nurturing its member patrons. Thus from early to mid-18th century, up until the early portion of the 20th century, Lancashire's population grew exponentially. By 1851 one of its largest cities--Liverpool possessed 249,000 inhabitants; Manchester possessed 529,000 inhabitants. Lancashire's newer churches--some built in earlier times--were known as chapels of ease or chapelries; after 1840 many were built that were referred to as district churches or chapels--as well as many were chapelries. A chapelry--often mistaken for a 'parish', is a smaller division or district within the boundaries of an ancient parish, possessing its own church building, with registers of at least christenings and burials; and sometimes marriages, was assigned its own rector or vicar.<br />
The tapestry and layout of Lancashire's churches is starkly different from just about all other England counties. By 1900 this county possessed well over 400 chapelries of the established church (the Church of England). The county is comprised of 84 percent chapelries and 16 percent parishes! No other County compares with it, except for certain portions of Greater London. No better example of the Industrial Revolution's profound impact can be shown than in Lancashire's populated township parish of Greater Manchester.<br />
<br />
Here's a breakdown of Manchester's amazing church-growth throughout its history prior to the year 1851:<br />
<br />
By 1700 - 8 total chapelries and parish (Cathedral)<br />
By 1740 - 11 chapelries and parish<br />
By 1770 - 16 chapelries and parish<br />
By 1800 - 23 chapelries and parish<br />
By 1830 - 31 chapelries and parish.<br />
By 1851 - 68 (Religious Census) - chapelries and parish<br />
By 1880 - 106 chapelries, district churches and parish<br />
<br />
Thus we see that from 1740, to 1851 there were close to about 60 chapelries created during the height of the Industrial Revolution for the city. Especially note that between 1800 and 1851 there were about 45 churches constructed following especially the parliamentary passage of the Church Building Act of 1818.<br />
<br />
For your research purposes and interest*, here is a comprehensive list of (Greater) Manchester's chapelries and parishes from ancient times to 1880. <em>If you are searching in mid to late 19th century Manchester you must search all relevant chapelries (below) in this parish in order to conduct a thorough investigation for finding ancestry</em> in this very large civil parish:<br />

And now, 'Happy Hunting', in Lancashire is FINALLY possible!Phillip Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16045391574730882730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607597581869965238.post-29083769253371594692010-06-03T10:43:00.013-06:002010-06-03T11:40:01.893-06:00Helpful Terms in Parish Register Research of Interest for England Genealogists<strong>Introduction<br /></strong>England’s Crown government began the standard of keeping church registers by the year 1538 and another set of registers called Bishop's transcripts in 1597. This was to ensure a continual and running record of as many of the birth and christenings, marriages and burials of the population as possible. [Note: In England where land and landed estates required provenance of property ownership and in proving rightful heirs, the need for parish register-keeping, becomes clear. Parish registers began not necessarily due to mere ecclesiastical expediency only but perhaps as much to help ensure property succession in England. The rights of primogeniture or first-born entitlement and most family inheritance matters were a major contributing reason for the existence of parish registers. The parish registers stood at the fore as evidence of proof sufficient to be upheld in the courts of law.]<br /><br />While searching church registers of various kinds, there are terms used in them which may be confusing, or un-clear to the researcher. So here is a list of both common and un-common terms and words found in parish registers, which should define and bring some clarity to all research enthusiasts and genealogists:<br /><br /><strong>Terms<br /></strong>Chrysom = Infants dying within a month of birth, were called by this term.<span style="font-size:78%;">1</span> Note: Infants were often anointed with chrisom oil and clothed in a swaddling cloth—called a Chrisom cloth—for up to a month after birth, when the chrisom cloth was returned to the parish church and at the time the mother was “churched” (see below). The practice of Chrisoming ceased mostly after the 17th century.<br /><br />“Churched” or “Churching” = The public appearance of a woman at church to return thanks after childbirth.<span style="font-size:78%;">11</span> Their public appearance was often accompanied by a small gift offering given by fellow parishioners and friends.<br /><br />Baptisms = baptism is the immersion of and naming of the infant.<span style="font-size:78%;">2</span><br /><br />Christening = is the public receiving of the infant before the parish congregation at a service in the Church of England as a member of “all of Christ's flock”<span style="font-size:78%;"> 3</span>.<br /><br />"Half Baptized" = the term half baptized refers to private baptismal ceremonies. “To baptize privately or without full rites, as a child in danger” of [dying]<span style="font-size:78%;">4</span>.<br /><br />“Received Into the Congregation” = an infant brought before the congregation at a service--usually a christening service and is “received” into the congregation<span style="font-size:78%;">5</span>.<br /><br />Illegitimacy = children who are born out of wedlock. Infants may be referred to in parish registers according to many of the following terms and phrases: “base” child, base born, or bastard child, natural child or an illegitimate son/daughter; there are more obvious descriptive words and expressions used and of great variety. Records indicating such births and christenings in ancestral research often exist and frequently contain more detail than that of the legitimate<span style="font-size:78%;">6</span>, <span style="font-size:78%;">2</span>.<br /><br />Woolen = usually meant that a person was buried in woolen cloth. As early as 1667, Parliament passed the act which heavily supported the woolen trade by requiring a controversial burial tax by forcing parish vicars and rectors to enforce this law and assess all who were to be buried, to be buried in and to pay for, a (burial) woolen cloth-- an obvious move to strengthen the one manufacturing industry. As a result, numerous burials--especially among the population’s poor--often went un-recorded; it was later repealed in 1814<span style="font-size:78%;">7</span>.<br /><br />"Private" baptisms = during the 18th century the custom to privately baptize infants was very usual. In some registers nearly all of the baptismal entries for many years are marked” private. Concerned mothers indulged in this custom out of concern for the life or imperilment of their infant children. The mortality rate on infants before the mid to late 19th century was exponential, and many mothers knew this and desired the Church of England baptismal or christening rites for their respective child or children<span style="font-size:78%;">8</span>.<br /><br />Linen = a piece or pieces of linen, especially in strips of linen for use as bandages<span style="font-size:78%;">12</span>; were used as grave clothes used to wrap a body in at burial.<br /><br />Illegitimacy = terms used to denote that a pending birth or an infant child born out of wedlock and brought to the parish church to be christened may include any one of the following descriptive terms or phrases which would identify an illegitimate birth: spurious [child], base-born, beast-born, putative father, anonymous father, son of a strumpet, natural-born, or when parish register entry identifies the two parents by their respective surnames, etc., and any other more obvious terms used in modern-day vernacular to denote such a condition in a christening record<span style="font-size:78%;">9</span>.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Further Reading</strong><br />1.
