Default Durham probate records

I stumbled across this, but I don't know if it's already been mentioned:

for searching.

Re - Letters trying to locate missing people in Victoria etc, Australia

I have just found a Website for HelenOxfordHarris who has trawled through about 1/4 of the 2000 odd boxes at the PRO in Melboure. She has listed letters etc from people outside Australia, trying to find people who had gone missing. Occasionally people were found. Very interesting reading, but very sad too.

Fascinating indeed. Thanks, Julie.

People might want to use a Google trick to search all her indexes at once. It seems to work nicely. In your Google field, type in:

[your search terms] [word space] site:helendoxfordharris.com.au

That familydeeds.org is interesting, Daphne. Only wish I could find any of mine on there!

I'll just repeat what I said in my post #105. For this website too it's very useful to use a Google search such as:

Kitson site:familydeeds.org

This brings you a snippet view of everything "Kitson" on their whole website. You don't have to click in and out of name index, county index, etc.

Thanks for that, Elizabeth. I see it's not restricted to Devon but gives a lot of general information about the various branches of non-conformists with their various histories presented in very digestible form I thought. Very useful on BMD registrations, the marriage laws, burial practices, etc.

I found this site which has some chancery records from the National Archives:
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/

Navigation seems a bit complicated, but here's a page as an example (click on the number on the right and it takes you through to a photo of the document)
