April 2026

A warm welcome to the April issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your regular mix of family and social history stories, explorations and advice.

We might think of tabloid journalism as a late 20th century phenomenon, but it has its roots back in the 17th century – in this issue, Dene Bebbington takes us to the down-at-heel world of Grub Street and its influence. Also inside, we have a wealth of advice on researching 16th and 17th century ancestry through Elise Langdon-Neuner's Wiltshire case study, the story of the Lea & Perrins sauce empire, and much more.

Book your tickets now for the Liverpool Family History Show on 9 May to get the best offers. And don't forget our print editions too, packed with different articles: complete your set at the DYA website or at the show.

I hope you enjoy this issue.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
