Ancestry has millions of UK and Irish family history records, making it a must-have tool for anyone trying to build their family tree. Records on the site are verified for quality and searchable using Ancestry's powerful indexes and search engines.
Here's what is available:
- English Census Records: Learn the circumstances of the English from generations past. Census records are a good way to find family members under one roof, their status in society, their neighbourhood, types of employment, how they moved around the country; and even extended family members visiting the home on census day. From Kings to Commoners, answers are there because no one was exempt. The entire 1891 English Census and portions of the 1901 and 1891 Census are already online with more coming every week!
- UK and Ireland Parish and Probate Records: Includes 15 million birth, marriage, death, probate, and burial names from historical parish registers in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland ranging from 1538 to 1837.
- England and Wales Civil Registration Birth, Marriage and Death Indexes: This collection of 14 million names includes an alphabetical index that is searchable by name, record type, district and county. This index will grow to include every registered birth, marriage and death in England and Wales between 1837 and 1900.
- Pallot Marriage and Baptism Index: This exclusive 4-million name collection from the England and Wales area identifies the Parish in which the marriage or baptism was celebrated, the names of the participants, and the date of the event. The original image of the record is also available to UK/Ireland subscribers.
- Irish Immigrants - New York Port Arrival Records: This index of six hundred thousand names is especially important to researchers of Irish descent. The database catalogues the immigration of the Irish during 1846-1851 through passenger lists and other immigration documents.
