Guide
1: In order to find anybody in our records, we need to have their name and date of birth. It would help if we had any other names that they were known by and any spelling variations.
2: Details of the dates they lived and worked at Hatfield will help us to decide which source to use and to locate an entry in a relevant source. Please be as specific as possible with regards to date as even searching through a year or two can take a lot of our time. Their occupation will help narrow down our search and may help us to validate any information that we find.
3: Please give as full details as possible in this section, stating sources that you have used and the information that they have told you. If you have used a census to find information please state which one. Please bear in mind that many people lived and worked in areas of Hatfield other than at Hatfield House and Park.
4: If you have any more information regarding your ancestor then please state this here. The more precise and detailed the information we receive, the greater chance we have of locating the relevant information.
