In 1791, [[Weatherbys|James Weatherby]] published ''Introduction to a General Stud Book'', which was an attempt to collect [[Pedigree chart|pedigree]]s for the horses racing then and that had raced in the past. It was filled with errors and was not at all complete, but it was popular and led in 1793 to the first volume of the ''General Stud Book'' which had many more pedigrees and was more accurate. Volume one was revised many times, the most important being in 1803, 1808, 1827, 1859 and 1891.<ref name=Montgomery42>Montgomery ''The Thoroughbred'' p. 42</ref>
The General Stud Book has been owned by Weatherbys ever since; the two [[horse racing]] authorities that cover the United Kingdom, the [[British Horseracing Authority]] in Great Britain (historically the [[Jockey Club]]) and [[Horse Racing Ireland]] for all of the island of Ireland, including Northern Ireland, do not maintain the registry.<ref name=Weatherbys>
