The Origins Network is pleased to announce the addition of a new dataset on
British Origins PLUS the updated Origins Store.
Boyd’s Marriage Index - Supplement
While Boyd's Marriage Index is the largest index of pre-1837 English marriages, it is estimated that only 15% of marriages for the period are included.
Cliff Webb has undertaken to "fill in the gaps" for the City of London and Middlesex, to the extent that is possible from surviving records. This "Supplement" is integrated in the British Origins database with Boyd's index records, so that Boyd's Marriage Index and the Supplement may be searched simultaneously.
This is an on-going project. In the first batch of new records for London and Middlesex nearly 96,000 marriages have been indexed (nearly 200,000 names); over 50,000 City of London marriages and 46,000 for Middlesex. These include 3,100 Jewish marriages from Bevis Marks and the Great Synagogues, 3,160 Roman Catholic marriages, and 862 Huguenot marriages.
Please note that the marriages included in the Supplement are not available anywhere else online.

June 2007
This month we are pleased to announce the addition of four new datasets that have been added to the current collections on both British and Irish Origins.
Irish Origins:
1831 Tithe Defaulters – These records are the most important evidence we have of the infamous Tithe War 1831-38. All occupants of land were required to pay an annual tithe (or religious tax) of 10% of the agricultural produce generated by that holding. This money was demanded by landholders, irrespective of their religion, and was paid directly to the official state church, the Anglican (Episcopalian) Church of Ireland.
The 1831 Tithe Defaulters index contains over 29,000 names of people who refused to pay their tithe and so started the Tithe War. The people most affected by the Tithe War are precisely those most affected by emigration and the famine in the next generation. This unique record of names, addresses and occupations provides an important genealogical source for Ireland, especially given the near total destruction of the 1831 census. While Tithe Applotment Books cover more of Ireland they do not record occupations, nor do they have the variety of 'observations' included in this Tithe Defaulters Index.

Transatlantic Migration North America to Britain and Ireland 1858-1870
These records are the only surviving ships' passenger lists for ships returning to Britain and Ireland from North America between 1858 and 1870. Because of the threat of an imminent uprising by Fenians and their supporters in Ireland, the government in Dublin Castle required that the major ports in Britain and Ireland submit their incoming ships' passenger lists to them for scrutiny. Consequently these records were deposited at The National Archives of Ireland and are not available at the UK National Archives.
This Index contains all the details recorded on these documents as well as fully correlated list of ships and details of their voyages. Over 42,000 people are recorded most of whom were of Irish, English or Scottish origins.

British Origins:
Boyd’s Family Units - The Boyd's London Inhabitants dataset has been extended by the addition of a further 10,000 family sheets, covering more families from the London but also all over Great Britain and elsewhere, including North American families linked to England. The index to new records includes 137,000 names, taking the total to well over half a million names. This collection has been one of the glories of the Society of Genealogists Library, and provides a unique source of information on whole families.
