Burke’s Landed Gentry has long been an invaluable genealogical guide to notable families and their histories throughout the British Isles. The 19th Edition of the Landed Gentry saw volumes organised on a regional basis for the first time. Burke’s Landed Gentry - The Ridings of York, the second volume, was published in 2005.
For many, regional identity is as important as the national kind. Burke's Landed Gentry, 19th Edition, Volume II, The Ridings of York covers the old Ridings of York and focuses on historic Yorkshire families and key contemporary individuals, born, living or working in the county. This book delivers unique insights into contemporary Yorkshire life. At approximately 1,200 pages, it is an essential resource for historians, genealogists, librarians and anyone with Yorkshire connections.
"The people of Yorkshire are better known for boasting about the austerity of their roots rather than crowing about how posh they are. So it may come as something of a surprise that the publishers of Burke's Peerage and Gentry have dedicated a 1,200-page tome to the great and the good of that level-headed county. Alongside the 3,000 names from the traditional stock of landed gentry, minor royalty and peerage families, the authors have included a section on contemporary people of distinction ... in here there lurks the modern aristocracy of the Ridings of York.", The Independent
"The Yorkshire Society is delighted to be associated with the important developments at Burke's Peerage & Gentry and are most enthusiastic about the inclusion of the County of Yorkshire as a recognised and designated area of importance within their well-respected and prestigious publications", Keith Madeley, Chairman, Yorkshire Society
