Aboard the Hulks

Early Census Project

ESFH Zoom Meetings

Aboard the Hulks

Issued in Winter 2011 along with the Winter issue of the Historian this booklet contains lists detailing prisoners from Essex Courts who had either been sentenced to transportation or confined to “the hulks.” These latter were former naval or East Indiamen, which had been stripped of their armaments and moored off the coasts of England. From Plymouth, Portland, Chatham and the banks of the Thames, almost into the capital, they lay at anchor, just out of reach and mostly sight of the populace.

The lists were compiled by one of our members, Richard Daniel and were suplemented over the years by Maureen Miller & Dick Mathews.

Early Census Project

Brigham Young University are running a project to index British and Irish Census records from 1801 to 1840. Tehir database includes many Census Records for Essex.

ESFH Zoom Meetings

The Society now holds all meetings via Zoom. As many as possible are hybrid meetings incorporating a live audience in one of our meeting venues.

If the speaker allows us we will record the Zoom meeting and make it available to view for a limited time.

Select Zoom Meeting Recordings from the Members Menu on the black bar at the top of the page to see our archive of recordings.

We have written a guide to using Zoom. To see it please click here

The Dinosaur

Early Census Project

The Dinosaur - A Special Bonus Booklet for Members

Our former Chairman and Editor, Fred Feather, used his lockdown hours profitably, to go through our archive of "The Essex Family Historian", and pick out articles that he thought you might find useful. He has put them together, in booklet form. He has called the booklet "The Dinosaur". Thank you very much, Fred.

To read the booklet, please click here. You may read it on your screen, print, or download it. Perhaps a grandchild can assist, if you are unfamiliar with the technology. Maybe, you would like to make a copy to give to a fellow member who does not use a computer.
