Historical Manuscripts from Auction
& Booksellers Catalogues
This is a collection of
descriptions of historical documents taken mainly from online auction
catalogues, arranged by county. The
Most of the documents are
indetures or other property related documents such as conveyances, mortgages,
leases etc. Other documents include wills, bibles, letters, commonplace books
etc. Many of these documents are sold into private hands and the information
they contain is lost to researchers. In the process many collections of
documents and bundles of deeds are broken up and the collective information
they contain lost forever. Hopefully some of this collective information will
be retained through these pages.
Please note that the
transcriptions are those of the auction house concerned and may be subject to
inaccuracies. This is particularly the case for those transcriptions taken from
ebay, but images of these documents are also available online (until the
document is sold) and I have attempted to confirm and add details from these
images where possible.
Please also note that I do not own or
sell the documents themselves and that in most cases they will have long since
been sold.
The pages are updated at
regular intervals, please see the ‘What’s New’ page for details.
