References

I have given my main references at the end of each chapter for people who wish to follow up anything with their own research. I have omitted certain references which underpin all the chapters. These are the Parish Registers of Ringstead and the neighbouring parishes. These have been viewed mainly at the Northampton Record Office, (NRO), but more recently I have also used the transcriptions on the excellent Rushdenheritage website. I have also used the Censuses from 1841 – 1901 on Ancestry.co.uk and the 1911 Census on FindMyPast.co.uk, as well as at NRO. Every month more is becoming available on line But Record Offices are great places to visit and there is nothing quite like seeing the original documents and getting some expert guidance.
