The volumes are absolutely ENORMOUS and heavy and there must be hundreds of them! They record transactions back to 1704. As far as I am aware there is only one way to access them and that is to go to Wakefield and inspect them yourself or hire a local researcher who knows their way around them to do it for you. If you enter "West Riding Deeds Registry" into Google you will find a PDF file about the books and the indexes. I believe the registry do a search service but it could be expensive. When I was there some years ago I learned that a single copy of an entry cost 28 pounds!!! The registry is not much used by genealogists, but principally by solicitors. Be warned that many of the entries are in complex legal jargon and it's not always easy to know what is going on. -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
