July 2025

Welcome to the July issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your regular mix of family and social history stories, explorations and advice.

It's astonishing that London's Newgate Prison existed in one form or another for seven centuries – in this issue Dene Bebbington tells stories of this institution and its inmates. For another dark tale from a different kind of institution, the workhouse, we also have Denise Bates's investigations into her own family. On a lighter note, Ruth Symes returns with a look at what we can learn from traditions and trends around first names – all that and more inside!

Don't forget our print editions too, packed with different articles: complete your set at the DYA website.

I hope you enjoy this issue.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
