I have seen a couple of family trees of late where the source of their ancestral information was listed - and this was from a source that I hadn't previously considered investigating.
Therefore I was wondering what sources, in general, other RootsChatters have used to prove their ancestral records.
Obviously there are the standard ...
Birth, Marriage and Death certificates
Wills
Parish Registers
Plus a few extras like:
School Records
Hearth Tax Records
Poll Taxes
I'd be interested to see what other sources are around as well as I'm sure I've unknowingly missed checking some in my quest to prove a relationship from 3 independent sources.

Irish research can often be difficult so I tend to use a variety of sources perhaps not used in other places where records are much easier to access.
Church records- communicants lists, pew/stipend lists, graveyard trespass records (burial fee for non-members)
Landlords' records- tenants lists, notes on tenants, estate records
Valuation records
Voting Lists
Pension claims

I forgot a few
Census 
Removal Orders
Settlement Records
Apprenticeship Records
Would we include MIs?

Most definitely Charlotte - I had a big breakthrough from an MI - 4 generations were listed covering over 100 years

Di agree MIs can be fabulous- with all the dates of birth and death and relationships.
Professional Directories and Who's Who... that's a great source of detail.
