Hi to everyone,

Does anyone have or know how to obtain a copy of this book?
The full title is

The Story of the Beveridge families of England and Scotland (1923) by Sydney A Beveridge.

Hi Ailsa, your local library should be able to help - you can probably borrow it on inter-library loan. I've seen on google that several large libraries have it. if it is out of print it might be more difficult but not impossible.
to buy, there are many secondhand book shops that deal in out of print works. I've looked at a few by googling - but try your local one (yellow pages)

Hi Diddy,

I have sourced it to my nearest Library which is the Oxford Bodl - i have emailed them and i am awaiting their reply.
My local library is not confident as they think i will have to go to Oxford to see it.
I live in South Oxfordshire although i am originally from Glasgow. I seem to be from a branch of the Beveridges that does not connect with any one else! Furthest back is John Beveridge married to Janet Bell 30.12.1715 in Inverkeithing . I can trace him from then on but before that is difficult.
I thought that the book might be a help.

Hi Aisla, I have a couple of Beveridge connections myself through marriage!

I hope you get sight of the book somewhere anyway.

Good luck,
Diddy

Thanks Ailsa - I'll keep those names in mind if I come across a connection to Janet and get back to you.  I'm still trying to verify that she is actually a relation.

Good wishes with your search

The book is available in libraries. I went to the State library in Victoria, Australia to borrow it. Unfortunately it was only available to read in the reading room as it is an old book, written in 1923. what i found, as far as my Beveridge ancestry goes, was that the author relied heavily on hearsay. He interviewed one person for the history of my Beveridge ancestors and all of the information was incorrect. Don't know about the rest of the book, but I'd rather do genuine research and then know the information was right.

A lot of Scots from Fife and elsewhere in the east of Scotland emigrated to Scandinavia in the 1500s and 1600s. A Hans Belfrage (old spelling of Beveridge) born in 1614 in Kirkcaldy was ennobled in Sweden in 1666 by King Karl XI and has many descendants. Their details are preserved in the Riddarhuset - House of Nobility - in Stockholm. You can read about them here - the first part of the text is in Swedish but then there's an English translation.

I lived in Linkφping, Sweden, for two years and our local aristocrat was a Count Douglas, of Scottish descent.
