    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
