Clergy of the Church of England 1835 - Part Two: A Biographical Directory

This is the first attempt to collect both personal and professional information about each of the 7,500 clergy of the Church of England in the early 1830s, who together held the 10,000 parishes of England (but not Wales). It is based on the Report of the Ecclesiastical Revenues Commission of 1835, which has been expanded using all printed and online sources currently available, especially the online Clergy of the Church of England Database, 1540-1835. The result is a major new biographical and genealogical resource for all interested in the long Eighteenth century, not only its clergy and their backgrounds, but for the first time, their wives and families, and their extraordinary inter-connectedness.
