and high resolution colour images. The site is also releasing more
parish registers, electoral rolls, visitations and directories.
They are also accelerating the release of more counties with over

To tie-in with this major release, this month's article takes a
look at the life of Lillie Langtry, known as 'The Jersey Lily',

with princes and celebrities caused quite a stir.

We are always interested in microfilm/microfiche of original
records, in particular parish records, Scottish census and electoral
registers.
Also, if you have old books (pre 1930) of parish record transcripts,
electoral registers, poll books and directories, let us know.
We have the latest scanning technology to allow us to photograph
loan books without damage.
We are happy to reward you for the loan of these items, simply
let us know what you have. We also have volunteer
transcribers who are waiting to help with these projects. If you
are interested in transcription work please visit www.UKindexer.co.uk. |

Lillie Langtry was originally born Emilie Charlotte Le Breton on 13th October 1853 in St.
Saviour’s Jersey, and was given the nickname Lillie during her early teens. It was
used frequently by the press during her rise to celebrity status,
often referring to her as the ‘Jersey Lily’, and was later adopted as her
official stage name.
