Metropolitan Ancestors: Finding Families in Georgian and Victorian London

It can be particularly challenging for genealogists to locate individuals and families in the UK’s capital city and its environs. This is because of the high density of population in the metropolis and the fact that London families often moved between multiple addresses in a relatively short space of time. Given the number of people who migrated to London in the Georgian and Victorian periods, London records often need to be compared with those of other parts of the UK and other countries.

Using relevant and interesting examples from my own ancestry, it will suggest new ways of finding families in London.
