Afternoon all, Does anyone know please if any of this is on-line anywhere yet? http://devonquartersessions.wordpress.com/ Will it be incorporated in with the National Archives? When I Googled, this was all that came up. Bev

Hi Bev Quarter Session Records are actually the reason we have local record offices at all. They were set up to store these legal records in case of future disputes. Other records came along later and I don't think they have the same statutory protection as the Sessions records. There are different Quarter Sessions Records-the County as a whole had a quarterly session but then so did each borough. All the records (and there are tens of thousands of them) are help in Exeter the Heritage Centre. We had a very good presentation on the subject at the last DFHS AGM and I think there are the slides on the DFHS website. Don't forget the Petty Sessions in each borough are separate and also the Assize records where the most serious crimes were tried. Quarter Sessions may have dealt with much much more than crime.
