Poor Law RecordsThe Records Office For Leicestershire and Rutland has card index of main names mentioned in the county poor law records i.e. Removal Orders, Settlement Certificates and examinations, Bastardy bonds and Parish apprentices etc. This index has been filmed by the LDS (see). The class number the documents for Ratcliffe Culey are the DE 491 series. See my transcription :- here |
NonconformityIf you suspect your ancestors of being non - conformists and they were residents
of Ratcliffe Culey the best places to look are Atherstone
|
Census DataAll Census data 1841 - 1891 is listed under the Atherstone Class Number. The L&RFHS have published an index to the 1851 census (Vol 8) but this is largely redundant as the LDS Tri-Counties CD-ROM covers Ratcliffe Culey. The 1891 census has serious damage to the last few folio pages, this occurred before filming therefore all films will be deficient. The Records Office For Leicestershire and Rutland has films of all the census data and the LDS film numbers are listed below. |
IGI CoverageBeware, the IGI claims to cover the following dates for baptisms 1562-1853 and 1866-1871, but, as it is entirely based on the bishops transcripts there are many years omitted. See Bishop's Transcripts omissions Similarly the marriage coverage is claimed as 1562-1836, but the same omissions exist. The those using the Internet Family Search pages the batch numbers are :- Baptisms C061042 C061041 Marriages M061042 M061041 the same omissions apply |
ProbateProbate records for Ratcliffe Culey residents prior to 1858 should have been proved at the Leicester Archdeaconry court, however many Ratcliffe residents of property also held possessions in Warwickshire . It is therefore also wise to check the PCC and Lichfield calendars.
