A Family History Website by Mike Durtnall
This site contains my
family history data, transcripts and extracts from original documents and links
to other sites.
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This is a collection of descriptions of historical
documents taken mainly from online auction catalogues, arranged by county.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 indentures 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.
