You may also be interested in the transcripts of Ince's Pedigrees.
Thomas Ince collected notes from a variety of sources, including
family bibles and word of mouth, about families in and around
Wirksworth which is where he worked as a solicitor for many years.
He moved eventually to Wakefield. The hand written originals are
at Derby LSL and were in a notebook, though no longer are. Photocopies
from the LSL as above.
Transcripts
of Ince's Pedigrees are published elsewhere on the Internet
