Summary

The bestselling author of The Lake House Kate Morton is back with another rich and spellbinding new novel. The Clockmaker’s Daughter is the story of a mysterious murder and a passionate love affair. Their shadows are cast across generations. It was first set in England during the 1860s and continues until the present day. It began in the summer of 1862. There was a group of young artists who were led by the talented and equally passionate Edward Radcliffe. Radcliffe descended upon Birchwood Manor. Their common plan was to spend one month in summer secluded in a haze of creativity and inspiration. However, before the time their stay was over, a woman was shot dead while another has vanished. A very valuable heirloom is missing. Suddenly, Edward Radcliffe's life was in ruins. Fast forward a hundred and fifty years later, a young archivist in London named Elodie Winslow uncovered a leather satchel. Inside it, she found an artist's sketchbook and an old photograph of a beautiful woman in Victorian clothing. Told through different voices across time, Kate Morton’s The Clockmaker's Daughter is a story of love, art, murder, thievery, mystery, and loss.

    Tracing Your Ancestors in County...

    A detailed handbook to the English and Welsh Quarter Sessions records, their background, and how they can be used by genealogists and historians. 
 
For over 500 years, between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Justices of the Peace were the embodiment of government for most of our ancestors. The records they and other county officials kept are invaluable sources for local and family historians, and Stuart Raymond's handbook is the first in-depth guide to them. He shows how and why they were created, what information they contain, and how they can be accessed and used. 
 
Justices of the Peace met regularly in Quarter Sessions, judging minor criminal matters, licensing alehouses, paying pensions to maimed soldiers, overseeing roads and bridges, and running gaols and hospitals. They supervised the work of parish constables, highway surveyors, poor law overseers, and other officers. And they kept extensive records of their work, which are invaluable to researchers today. 
 
As Stuart Raymond explains, the lord lieutenant, the sheriff, the assize judges, the clerk of the peace, and the coroner, together with a variety of subordinate officials, also played important roles in county government. Most of them left records that give us detailed insights into our ancestors’ lives. 
 
The wide range of surviving county records deserve to be better known and more widely used, and Stuart Raymond’s book is a fascinating introduction to them. 
 
Praise for Tracing Your Ancestors in County Records 
 
“This is invaluable stuff: while other books may mention the records, this volume provides a useful understanding of the processes and public philosophies that led to them in the first place. There are plenty of references for further reading, too. . . . An excellent textbook exploring the mechanics of local record-keeping.” —Your Family History (UK) 
 
“This great introduction to county records will soon have you chomping at the bit to head to your nearest archive to begin exploring beyond the records available online. Well-known family and local historian (and Family Tree contributor) Stuart A. Raymond provides a concise and easy guide to the rich seam of records you can expect to find (and those you can't), going back 500 years to when Justices of the Peace were the embodiment of local government for our ancestors. There’s a wealth of information to get your teeth into.” —Family Tree (UK)
