Your UK Cab Trade Ancestors
A Guide for Family Historians
If you've come across a cab driver or taxi driver in your family research and know little or nothing about the trade or what sort of life he may have led, this book is for you.
Whilst it cannot provide you with sources for driver or cab licence records (very few, if any survive) it tells of:
The history of cab and cab driver licensing
The differences between the cab trade in London and in other parts of Britain
Names of trades you're likely to find in BMDs and census returns
The social effects that the trade has had on its people throughout the centuries
