Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist who achieved lasting fame by producing considerable evidence that species originated through evolutionary change, at the same time proposing the scientific theory that natural selection is the mechanism by which such change occurs. Darwin developed an interest in natural history while studying first medicine, then theology, at university. His 1859 book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (usually abbreviated to The Origin of Species) established evolution by common descent, which means that all organisms on Earth are descended from a common ancestor or gene pool. In recognition of Darwin's pre-eminence, he was buried in Westminsted Abbey, close to John Herschel and Isaac Newton. "I began by doing a BMD Image Search in Death Records, using the BMDindex.co.uk website. I knew Darwin died in Bromley in 1882, so I set the year to 1882. I then typed in his forename and surname, and clicked search. However, I did not know which month he died in, so searched through the images until I found him. I found him in the April - June death records (below), and a closer look reveals the volume number and volume page number which can be used for ordering certificates (below). After researching Charles Darwin, I found that he died on April 19th, so I am certain that this is the correct death record."

12 Mar 2007http://www.ukburials.com/36article.php?id=36Published in 1930, this is a guidebook to Newquay in Cornwall - the references to individuals are in the many advertisements for hotels, etc.

The Homeland Handbooks was a series begun in 1896 to provide information about local areas in Great Britain. This volume about Newquay in Cornwall and the surrounding villages was published in about 1930 and includes a contemporary Ordance Survey map, a town plan and details of excursions, a short history of the town and details of local industries. This is a guidebook, not a directory, so the references to individuals are in the many advertisements for hotels, such as Breezeland, which offers 'The best English cooking nicely served at seperate tables' and is under the personal supervision of the proprietess Miss Elford. The CD is published by S&N Genealogy Supplies.
