Names of many applicants who petitioned for the position of writer between 1806 to 1856 are shown on the National Archives website [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorj_2&cid=1-1-1#1-1-1 Writer’s petitions]. These relate to British Library series IOR/J/1 – however, it is thought this series may be incomplete. Where a name is found and papers are held then these often show details of parentage, educational background and date of appointment. If you find your ancestor here and are a Fibis member then you may wish to enlist the help of our research team to access this further information.
