I never thought my schoolgirl latin would come in so useful and of course you have Google who can translate or at least give you the gist of what is being said :-D :-D |

I was going to ask if they were in Latin, that is what I have found with some of the parish registers if you go that far back :-) |

Of course, up to 1733 the documents will be in Latin, a further bar to some researchers. Act Books summarize a case to be taken before an ecclesiastical court. They give the depositions of witnesses, which include the witness’ name, occupation, age, residence and perhaps information about their previous residence and work. There may also be cause papers, detailing arguments and evidence used in court. They were most active in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Some Act Books have been published, chiefly for the eleventh to the thirteenth centuries, by the English Episcopal Acta by the Oxford University Press and the British Academy. |
