Welcome to the personal website of Tricia Booth, a fairly recent resident of Belper.Belper, in Derbyshire (England) is best known for its mills and its 18th and 19th century mill-owner family, the Strutts. Recently Belper, although a small insignificant place in many ways, was awarded World Heritage status in recognition of its special place in the history of the Industrial Revolution.
This site explores, through genealogical records and other data, some historical aspects of Belper, and its people.
It can never be full and complete, since records are often unavailable or copyrighted; in addition, transcribing such records is a time-consuming and endless task. Until there are "other hands to the pump" the addition of data will be slow. However, I hope you will find something of interest here.
