Welcome to the
Leicestershire and Rutland
18th Century Timeline!
A date, a name, a place of birth means something but the flesh on the bones of your ancestors needs to be built up with stories, events, in fact anything that could possibly have affected that person in their daily lives.
Did they fight for their country? Was there a food shortage? What books could they have read? Where were they buried? Did they go to Church?
How did Leicestershire develop through the last 300 hundred years? How it developed affected the lives of any ancestors of yours that were born, lived or moved here to work in Leicestershire and Rutland.
Check out the 20th 19th and 17th century timelines that you can help build!
