It’s slow progress – but progress all the same. Now put on to separate spreadsheets:-
- GRO births – 1837 to 2005
- GRO marriages – 1837 to 2005
- GRO deaths – 1837 to 2005
- IGI transcripts for UK
- 1841 English census
- 1851 English census
- 1861 English census – started
I have tonight registered the Espley name with the Guild of One Name Studies (GOONS) including two variants – Epsley and Aspley. It could be argued that Epsley is just a misspelling but there are 48 on the 1911 census so I would want to include that spelling of the name as part of the study.
Next step is to set up an Espley profile page on the GOONS website.
During the next month I hope to finish indexing at least the 1861 and 1871 census returns.
