CLOSE CLOSS CLOWES CLUSE CLOWSER Archive:

Have a look at http://www.one-name.org/archives/close.html - England & Wales 1841-1911 census transcripts, 1837-1950 birth, marriage & death index transcripts. Still far from complete, so please let us know if you can add to it, or if you'd be willing to take on the task of preparing further data for uploading - maybe for one county and/or one surname.
The GOONS archive system can also store details of England & Wales adoptions and civil probate, and Scotland BMDs. Any offers of help would be gratefully received, so that other researchers can benefit from the archive.

LATEST NEWS: To supplement my Guild of One-Name Studies archive pages I now have a personal website at www.close-family.co.uk where I plan to publish stories of individuals of interest and some results of data analysis. Let me know if you think one of your ancestors deserves a mention.
