'...a terrific story.' - Ken Loach, TV and film director, twice winner of the Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival In 1832, Mary Green (a.k.a. Polly Button) was brutally murdered by her lover John Danks in Nuneaton. Danks was tried, found guilty, hanged and then dissected. The two had one child together, and Polly was eight months pregnant with a second. So what precisely had caused their relationship to shatter and why was Danks set on a path to the gallows? Referring to a wide range of original sources, fully indexed and with extensive use of illustration throughout, the tale of Polly Button's tragic life and bloody demise is recounted in full and graphic detail.

With her five surviving children all reaching adulthood, The Undoing of Polly Buttonalso includes details of unique research to trace and connect more than 1000 of Polly Button's living descendants - worldwide, but with concentrations in Leicestershire, Nuneaton, Walsall and London.
From Bulkeley to Bulkley to Buckley
Drawing from a wide range of sources, this work is a continuation of one line of the Bulkeley family, focusing on the ancestors and descendants of Moses Bulkley (1727-1812) last presented in The Bulkeley Genealogy by Donald Lines Jacobus in 1933.

New evidence revealing critical errors made by Concord historians since 1835 will re-characterize the essential clerical friendship the two men shared and show the true reasons for John Jones's removal to Fairfield, Connecticut in 1644.

New England Marriages Prior to 1700
This work, compiled over a period of thirty years from about 2,000 books and manuscripts, is a comprehensive listing of the 37,000 married couples who lived in New England between 1620 and 1700. Listed are the names of virtually every married couple living in New England before 1700, their marriage date or the birth year of a first child, the maiden names of 70% of the wives, the birth and death years of both partners, mention of earlier or later marriages, the residences of every couple and an index of names. The provision of the maiden names make it possible to identify the husbands of sisters, daughters, and many granddaughters of immigrants, and of immigrant sisters or kinswomen.
