CD 1- SURREY POOR LAW - INDEX & CALENDAR
Compiled and prepared for publication by John Holland. This CD contains an Index of over 84,000 entries (including Place Names) and a Calendar of all known Poor Law Records for Non-Metropolitan Surrey. Where records for those Surrey Parishes which are now part of Metropolitan London, eg Camberwell, Clapham, Lambeth, Newington, Southwark, Streatham and Tooting are known to exist, the Local Studies Library or London Metropolitan Archives should be consulted.
Two important classes of Parochial Records have not been included. They are:
1. Accounts, which often have large numbers of Paupers' names.
2. Vestry Minutes, which are almost solely concerned with the administration of Poor Relief.

CD 9 EARLY WOKING BUILDINGS AND THEIR OCCUPANTS.
Compiled by Phillip Arnold (first published 2001 in the Record Series - RS36). Publishing on CD has allowed the inclusion of well over 100 photographs, many other illustrations and maps. In the introduction Phillip Arnold writes: "Woking has a number of pre-18th century buildings. The aim is to identify all those buildings in the old Manors of Woking and Sutton and the ancient parish of St Peter's, Woking which was more or less co-terminus with the Manors. A small piece of the Manor of Woking, part of Knaphill, lay in Horsell parish and an even smaller part in Bisley. Most of the land holdings within the area of the Manor were copyhold, there being very few freeholds. As a general rule only those buildings existing at the beginning of the 18th century are included although there are exceptions." An index of occupants is included or click here

There are only a few Huguenots in the records but quite a few Jewish people, Irish, Scots and other early immigrants. For civil purposes St Botolph was divided into two parts, each with separate civil jurisdiction. The two parts were St Botolph Aldgate, Middlesex (Without) and St Botolph Aldgate, London (Within), the latter being the portion of the parish within the old City walls. The records herein pertain to both parts of St Botolph Aldgate” (4662 Records – 11672 names).
