About this product

Product Information

'East Enders are a very special breed and tracing your East End ancestry is going to be tremendous fun. Everyone has got some East End ancestors - and if they haven't they invent them, rollicking chaps, larky and resourceful, talking a funny language to keep them guessing, eating at eel and pie shops, shouting out their wares in clattering, colourful markets. Their wives and masters ( 'er in doors ) are brazen lassies, smart as paint, tough as their men folk, presiding over an undoubted matriarchal society where Mum rules OK? The good tales are of bright little kids, unshod and street-wise, rising above their origins and making a mint. The bad ones are of indescribable horror - children dying in diseased heaps, infant sex for sale and gangs of armed bandits terrorising the neighbourhood.' As author Jane Cox writes in the preface, the East End of our great grandparents' days was another world, and her fascinating and accessible guide to East End ancestry will help you find out about it. She takes readers through the maze of courts and alleys that was the home of their ancestors, bringing to life that vibrant, polyglot society, and describing the many sources researchers can consult archives, records, books, the internet in order to discover the lives of individuals who lived in the area or passed through it. AUTHOR: Jane Cox worked for twenty-five years at The National Archives and was in the van of the family history movement, writing the very first genealogical guide to the Archives, followed by a number of others. She left in 1989 to research and write on the East End and to do private genealogical research. In 1994 her London's East End was published and she has recently completed a history of Stepney Parish. SELLING POINTS: .A comprehensive guide to tracing East End ancestry .A vivid portrait of East End history and people .Insight into the varied communities of the East End .Information and advice about the relevant archives, websites, books, records .A key book for anyone researching London's history 40 illustrations
