The National Archives at Kew has added a new collection, Home Office: Denization and Naturalisation Papers and Correspondence, as sourced from its HO1 series, and covering the period from 1801-1871. The collection includes details on some 7000 applicants who applied for naturalisation after the 1844 Naturalisation Act, but also many other papers of those applying for denization, an alternative process.
