April 7: Lost in London, presenter Helen Smith of Brisbane, Australia
London can be a daunting place to research. Part of this is due to the massive population growth: 600, 000 in 1700 to nearly 6.9 million in 1900 which resulted in more than 100 parishes in the City let alone everything in Greater London when 1889 the County of London was formed from parts of the ancient counties of Middlesex, Surrey and Kent. London was a constant attractant for the young, the desperate and the hopeful, as well as immigrants from across the world resulting in an intensity of population. There is no central index but there are many resources to aid in your London research including directories, newspapers, court records, insurance records and local history books.
