 These resources have
a wider coverage than a county and most cover the whole of the UK or a
major part of it.
They include CDs such
as Phillimore's Change of names which indexes a persons
name before and after they changed it. If you've come to a halt in your
research this CD may help if your ancestors changed their name.
Books
such as Kelly's Landed Gentry cover professional people and those in leading jobs in the Civil Service as well as the titled. Burkes Peerage concentrates more on those with titles and gives family details as does Peerage and Baronetage.
The National Burials Index contains the results of contributing members of the Federation of Family History Societies. It details Burials indexed from parish records and other sources. |

English and Welsh Landowners of 1873
Scottish Landowners and Heritages 1872/3
Irish Land Owners of 1876
