the doomsday book Can I view the births in the doomsday book on line?
The Domesday Book does not include births. Before civil registration in England came into force in 1837, people registered the births of their children with the Parish Priest, but this did not come into force until an order made by Thomas Cromwell in1538. If you are looking for births before that, you are in difficulty. Main sources would be family Bibles and other family documents. If your ancestors were agricultural labourers like mine, you don't stand much chance I'm afraid.

Domesday Book
how did william gain control of england?
sorry guys, ANOTHER homework question haha!
i need to write a history assesment about how william gained control of england using castles, the feudal system and the doomsday book.
btw it isnt cheating using this because he said we could use whatever technology we needed to find the information, and also i HAVE actually checked google but it doesnt supply the correct answears.
please answear (: x
no links please : ) x
Hi.
It's ALL about control.
Motte and bailey castles were established throughout England after the conquest; built quickly there told the populace that the Normans were here to stay. They were often built in strategic areas, usually on higher ground so that they could be seen for miles. About 20 soldiers could hold off hundreds of attackers. They were very hard to attack. Gradually a lot of them were rebuilt in stone...most famously the White Tower in the Tower of London (which is still there! Amazing!).
Feudalism. This was a system of control wereby each level of society gave service to their liege lord in return for land. At the bottom were the peasants, who didn't own anything but who worked for their liege lord in return for a little bit of scrub from which they could eke out an existence. Their liege lords were the knights, who gave service to their liege lords,the barons, who gave their service to their liege lord, the King. The church also owned land, a lot of land! This system of land ownership in return for service was around for hundreds of years, and still exists on the island of Sark in the Channel Islands! Their liege lord is the Queen!!! (who is known as the Duke of Normandy!). So, it proved a very efficient system and gave Norman England a constant supply of men-at-arms so it was always able to defend itself.
The Domesday Book is an amazing event in English history. William wanted to know how rich this new land was, so he sent out his clerks (who were basically monks) to every corner of his new kingdom to record what everyone owned. From this he could then calculate how much TAX these people would pay. Don't forget, everything was based on LAND in medieval England. Land was your power-base. The more land you had, the more you had to pay the king. It was enforced rigorously by William's soldiers, and there are instances were peasants and the like were killed for not giving the correct information. It became known as a Dooms Day book because people believed that on the day of Judgement (or Dooms Day), a great book would be opened and all the things you had done wrong in your life would be read out. The spelling changed over time. AND, there were two such books (well, actually more than two, but...) one smaller than the other, hence Little Domesday!!! Some of these copies still exist, making it one of the most important historical documents known. The detail it gives us of medieval life is quite remarkable, but this is another topic!
Anyway, I hope this has helped.
Good luck!
I can't agree with the other commenter that H.P. Lovecraft is decent. He's of great importance to the genre, but was not a good writer. Someone who's not interested in the genre as a set of conventions but is sincerely trying to find books that will scare him will not, I wager, get a lot out of Lovecraft.
A Good and Happy Child, by Justin Evans, might be worth a try. It has certain theological strains that are disconcerting, to say the least. (I won't be spoiling anything, I think, to say that it hinges on a possible case of demonic possession.) Come Closer by Sara Gran was also disturbing.
The Vanishing by Tim Krabbe.
Although I first read it when I was an adolescent, I still find Robert Cormier's I Am the Cheese shivery.
The Doomsday Book by Connie Willis, while not belonging to the horror genre (not belonging comfortably to any genre, really), is terribly gripping and a perfect book for you if you're in the mood for something from off your beaten track.
“I recommend audio books–lie there peacefully, create movies in your head. My animals all gather and drape themselves around for “stories.” Never do that for TV. Here are some reviews to get ya started. I stocked up!”
Thanks so much for the links to your reviews of audio books. Very enjoyable. Ruth Rendell is one of may favorites…along with P. D. James and Martha Grimes. I get regular e-mail updates from RecordedBooks.com…who I have been ordering from for many years. They have audio excerpts online by many of their readers. Daughter purchased a CD player for me a few years ago..to get me out of the stone age…so I am repurchasing as CDs some of the audiobooks which I have on cassette tape. The last one I purchased was The Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. Had been waiting for some time for it to come out on a CD…and it finally did a few months ago.
Here in MN I also found an old time radio program station. Have been listening to “Boston Blackie”, “The Whistler”, “Johnny Dollar”…and lots of other oldies but goodies. So much better than all that never ending news rubbish about the coming inauguration of the “Messiah”.

the only facts about where I lived in England is that Irchester was also in the Doomsday book & it was founded by Romans =/
