• Elizabeth Janson has a superb site featuring the Tetbury Religious Affiliations Census, but which also includes:-
  • Apprentices and their Masters
  • Baptisms and burials (Smallpox)
  • Bigland Notes
  • Census
  • Poor Law administration
  • Settlement
  • Wills 1670 - 1820
  • The Workhouse

  ... and more. If you have ancestors in Tetbury, you may need to look no further than Elizabeth's site!

• Ken Murray is developing a site devoted to the History and Families of the Trouble House Inn in Tetbury, its History, and the families associated with it. In particular, these are the Harewells, the Woolnoughs, the Georges and the Fowles; but inevitably their lives impinged upon others in the area, so surnames of interest may be there for you too!

Religion and Religious Life

• Elizabeth Janson's web site includes her 12-year study of the document Religious Affiliations Census of Tetbury in 1735 (source document D566 Z11, held in Gloucestershire Records Office, dated Oct 24 1737). This is - in effect - a census of households at that time, and has been fully indexed, by household, and by individual surnane. Elizabeth's site is a MUST to visit, if your ancestors were living in Tetbury in the early 18th century. And even if they weren't, it is a most interesting study in its own right, with abundant material for One-Name Studies, &c.
