PUBLISHED LONDON, GEORGE ALLEN, 156, CHARING CROSS ROAD, 1897

DESCRIPTION British Library Integrated Catalogue entry System number 010242286 Author – personal Rye, Walter. Title Records and record searching : a guide to the genealogist and topographer / Walter Rye. Edition Ed. 2. Publisher/year [S.l.] : George Allen, 1897. Holdings (All) Details Shelfmark W2/9406 DSC Request Bearing in mind this was published in 1897 then certain aspects such as the layout of the record room at the General record office will be historical rather than current. However its discussion about various records and pedigrees is still relevant. From Introduction to 2nd Edition: It is to a great extent an omnium gatherum of references and cross references, not only to the book itself, but of entries contained in various other works on the Records and of any odd references I have come across, especially in the old and practically unindexed folio Reports of the Record Commission, and which I thought may be useful to the general searcher. It may save the casual enquirer much trouble to know where to find some sort of a reference when he wants to find out something about ‘ contrariants’ or ‘ cowchers’ or ‘ Jornalia’ or ‘ Passage’ Rolls, or cannot make out who was the Master of Toyles, or what they did at the Court of the Verge. I hope that my efforts to indicate books likely to be of use to the reader will not be criticized too freely. There are, no doubt, many other works on each subject, and possibly several better than those I have recommended. That I. have not come across them is my misfortune, not my fault. If there were any demand for such a work, an antiquarian digest under subjects would not be very hard to compile. Contents include: How to compile a Pedigree Signs, Abbreviations, and Terms used for Pedigrees How to write the History of a Parish or other place Documents relating to the Subinfeudation, Sale, and Transfer of Land Specimens of Pipe Polls in Tabular Form The Sale and Transfer of Land inter Vivos List of Published Calendars of Fines Legal Proceedings relating to (1) Land, (2) other Matters not criminal Of Criminal Proceedings, &c State Papers, &c Ecclesiastical and Monastic Records, Guilds, &c Parish Registers, Cemetery Books, General Registry Office, Churchwardens’ Books, Inscriptions, &c List of Published Parish Registers Fiscal Records, the Subsidy Rolls, &c The Descent of Land, Inquisitions Post Mortem, Proofs of Age, Wills and Administrations Printed Collections of Wills Manorial Records, Court Rolls, &c.
