A simple, easy-to-use guide for British family historians wishing to trace their female ancestry. Everyone has a mother and a line of female ancestors, and often their paths through life are hard to trace. That is why this detailed, accessible handbook is of such value, for it explores the lives of female ancestors from the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 to the beginning of the First World War. In 1815, a woman was the chattel of her husband; by 1914, when the menfolk were embarking on one of the most disastrous wars ever known, the women at home were taking on jobs and responsibilities never before imagined. Adèle Emm’s work is the ideal introduction to the role of women during this period of dramatic social change. Chapters cover the quintessential experiences of birth, marriage, and death; a woman’s working and daily life, both middle and working class; through to crime and punishment, the acquisition of an education and the fight for equality. Each chapter gives advice on where further resources, archives, wills, newspapers, and websites can be found, with plentiful common-sense advice on how to use them. “A unique and information packed instructional reference and guide, Tracing Your Female Ancestors: A Guide for Family Historians is an extraordinary and thoroughly user friendly manual that is unreservedly recommended for both community and academic library Genealogy collections and supplemental studies lists.” —Midwest Book Review

The chief aim of this little work is to give a popular analysis of the laws which regulate and relate to the trade of that large section of the community known under the technical designation of 'licensed victuallers'. Containing a wealth of important information and handy tips on running a brewery or an inn, this text although old still contains much that will be of value to those interested in such endeavours and is not to be missed. The chapters of this book include: 'Duties Payable by Brewers', 'Stamp Duties', 'Taxes', 'Matters Common to all Householders as well as to Innkeepers', 'Covenants of Leases', 'Waste and Repair', 'Rent', 'Distraint', 'Fixtures', 'Insurance Fire', 'Servants', and more. Originally published in 1864, we are proud to republish this antique book complete with a new introduction on the subject."
