    3. I have recently come across this link http://www.mdr.nationalarchives.gov.uk/mdr/ which allows you to search the manorial documents database on line. It describes itself as " The Manorial Documents Register (MDR) identifies the location of manorial records. The MDR is partially computerised – Wales, the Isle of Wight, Hampshire, Norfolk, Surrey, Middlesex and the three Ridings of Yorkshire are available online. See Search the MDR. However the majority of the counties have not yet been computerised and information is still only available by visiting our searchroom or writing in with an enquiry. The records noted in the Manorial Documents Register include court rolls, surveys, maps, terriers, documents and all other documents relating to the boundaries, franchises, wastes, customs or courts of a manor. Title deeds are not included in the Register." So you can see Wales appears to be in the forefront. Megan --------------------------------- Moving house? Beach bar in Thailand? New Wardrobe?
