Hi: In a few weeks time I plan to visit the National Archives for a day, something that I manage all too rarely. I am trying to ransack the National Archives for information relating to the Clovelly, North Devon (especially in the period 1600-1820) - most of whose parish chest material has unfortunately not survived. (I have of course already spent some time investigating the Devon Record office holdings, though not as much as I would like.) I have used the TNA on-line catalogue extensively, and have made several earlier visits to the Archives. The purpose of this query is to ask for advice as to types of information held in the National Archives that is so organised or indexed (by at least county, but ideally by hundred or parish) as to make it relatively easy to search for information relating to a particular parish, yet which is not as yet covered to this level of detail in the on-line catalogue. The types of material I have already searched, albeit not always as thoroughly as I would have wished, are: Registers of Protection from being pressed (ADM 7/381-385) Assizes: Western Circuit: Crown Minute Books (ASSI 21) Assizes: Western Circuit: Civil Minute Books (ASSI 22) Chancery: Petty Bag Office: Writ Files - index to warrants of appointments of customs officers (C 202 ) Chancery: Petty Bag Office: Victuallers Recognizances (C203) Association Oath Rolls (C213) Customs pay lists (CUST 18) Customs Board Minute Books (CUST 28/2) Excise Officers - Minute Books (CUST 47) Outport Records (CUST 64) Bristol Channel Ports, Officer of Oaths of Admission (CUST 69/166) Outport Records (CUST 75 ) Subsidies (E179) Port Books (E190) Tithe Apportionments (IR29) List of persons paying duty on male servants (T 47/8 ) Excise Officers - Quarterly salary lists (T44) As indicated above, I am looking for other ideas as to what other files, covering the period 1600-1820, are relatively easy to search by virtue of how they are organised, or through the existence of indexes.
