Default London research.

Where is the best place to start London research?

I'm thinking (just thinking, so don't all run away yet) of restarting my Ariel search. I have them in Bristol from 1720 ish, but there is another Ariel family in London and I have a feeling they are connected.

I've done no London research prior to the mid 1800s so have no idea where I might even start with the early 1700s.

Libby, Ancestry has a lot of the parish registers online and FMP has some parishes too (e.g. Westminster).

Ancestry has London wills as well a PCC (Canterbury) wills.

It depends where your research takes you, really! Good luck.

I expect you have seen these PCC wills (images on Ancestry):

Name: James Ariell
Probate Date: 29 Jun 1829
Residence: St James Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England

Name: Ann Ariell
Probate Date: 4 Dec 1838
Residence: Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England

Name: William Ariell
Probate Date: 30 Jan 1850

I haven't included the Bristol ones as you will have those.


National Probate Calendar:

Name: Sarah Ariel
Probate Date: 14 Oct 1858
Death Date: 17 Jul 1833
Death Place: Middlesex, England
Registry: Principal Registry

There is a John Ariel with wife Judith in Stepney in the 1770s. He is a Shipwright.

Thanks Jill.

Elizabeth....I think I quickly looked through those wills a while back when I had The Genealogist as they had them all.....but it's time I had a better look (which translates to asking someone to look as I cannot read those at all...lol)
It's that John who is interesting. William Ariel is a East India trader.

There are a few Ariell people (with the double L) in Wales and around England. They are probably/possibly related way back as well.
