Miscellaneous deeds and other records

 Series

Scope and Contents

General records from a variety of counties in England or involving other countries and territories or member states of the United Kingdom, organized geographically by primary county or country name. The bulk of the records are deeds or related to deeds, but some counties may have accounts, business records, family papers, legal records, manorial documents, surveys, official records, or other miscellaneous types of records in addition to deed-related records. These records were not typically associated with a specific family, and often they are too small in number for a specific location within a county to warrant having their own series. There is also a sub-series for counties with 4 or fewer items, and one for foreign countries and territories with 4 or fewer items.

Arrangement

Materials are in alphabetical order by county. Within each county, materials are described grouped by primary document type (Accounts, Deeds, Manorial documents, Surveys, Business records, Family papers, Legal matters, and Miscellaneous, if those primary document types are included in the collection for that county). Materials are typically further arranged in alphabetical order by standard parish name within each primary document type, though this is not always the case.
