Feet of Fines for Essex by Frederick George Emmison PDF Summary

Book Description: The Feet of Fines preserved in the Public Record Office are indispensable records for local, family and social historians. To the genealogist, Fines are especially helpful in giving the names of many estate owners' wives and families. The detailed introduction to the Records includes discussion of how the major landholding families such as de Vere, Rich, Radcliffe, Petre, Darcy and Mildmay were involved in property transactions including mortages owing to heavy debts, and how the merchants Thomas Sutton and Horatio Palavicino, as well as Elisabeth I's favourite the Earl of Leicester, were associated with Essex. The volume contains nearly 3,000 separate property transactions and 7,000 references to persons, with data on estates, large and small, in every Essex Parish and many in Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire. There are numerous items concerning commons, openfields, dovecotes, minor place-names, fisheries, sheepwalks, mills, parks and warrens, and an extensive subject index.
