Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 055
Welcome to the November issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your monthly digital family and social history magazine.
It’s likely that many of us will have whitecollar workers in our family lines, but it’s surprising how little the work of humble office clerks in the past has been researched. This month I’m pleased that Richard Willis is redressing the balance with a look at legal clerks in particular.
With this being the season of fireworks, it’s also interesting to learn of the roots of actor Kit Harington, star of the BBC’s recent Gunpowder series and a direct descendant of one of the 1605 plotters against James I.
All that and more in a great read for the autumn fireside – I hope you enjoy it.
