Buckinghamshire Family History Society has provided data on Hanslope born people who appear in records from other parts of the county or, in some cases, further afield. The data so far included in the database is for the 1851 census and for marriages recorded elsewhere in Bucks. A start has been made on Wills written by Hanslope residents. A transcription is being prepared for each will, and all the persons mentioned are entered in the Master Index. For some wills, images of the original pages are also available. All wills identified have been indexed, although so far very few have been transcribed; this is a slow process! To review a list of wills identified, click List of Wills. A map of the Parish of Hanslope in 1779 contains a table of 109 people who owned property in the parish at that time. These people have been added to the database, and where appropriate, links are included to view the map. Click here to view information about the map. Click here to view the map.

The new web pages should be available by mid-2006.)

The main method of using the database is to search the Master Index which contains an entry for each reference to a person in each source. There are now 79,000 entries in the master index. Searches can be for partial names and specific ranges of dates. The result of a search of the master index is a list of possible references which match the search criteria. From this list, the information transcribed from any one source can be accessed. To begin a search click
