I have used Chancery records!

The reason Mum was interested in fh was the tale of "money lost in Chancery". When I finally found the case (completely by chance) none of the names were ones I knew.

There are lots of finding aids, and there has been a drive to get volunteers to index documents, but digitising the records would be extremely challenging. You may have ten or more documents attached together, ranging from a tiny strip, to documents several feet wide. I have photographed documents, often in six or more parts.

My retirement project is to work more systematically on Chancery documents, but it is a challenge, as not all the documents are stored together.
