As in any age, people have had to deal with documentation and Officials whether it be for good or bad.
Yesterdays Journey records the names of those people who had dealings with those events and the paperwork involved.
The documents that sent them back to their legal settlement or let them stay in a new parish.
The warrants for their arrest, or the Indentures that gave them a start in working life and the papers that named the fathers of illegitimate children, or the Wills that folks left.
They are all here.
Documents that may identify where they were born, a trade, an employer, their wages, how long they worked with for each person.
Where they got married, which regiment they served in, how many children they had, names, ages and other bits of information to help add real history and detail to your ancestors lives.
Dealing primarily with Derbyshire it does however cover the whole of the British Isles as people moved around seeking work, travelled as vagrants through the County or were chased throughout the realm as the responsibility of fatherhood and law caught up with them. There are references to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and America, as well as other lands overseas, as some moved further afield.
Yesterdays Journey is on-going and updated on a regular basis.
