Dear Lyn

Initially it would probably have been kept by the parties concerned - and by
now could be almost anywhere. It may have passed to a new owner, or been
lost or destroyed. Not very much is currently available and it is quite
amazing what turns up where. I research at St George's archives in Windsor
and they house some records for very small manors in Cornwall, Wales and in
fact probably for properties in more than half the English counties. The
most helpful thing to pursue is past owners. There is no requirement for
these records to be kept anywhere in particular as they are considered to be
personal property nowadays, and would be passed to Record Offices and such
only if the owner thought to do it.

Sorry - not helpful - but finding records from such a date would be
remarkably good fortune.

best wishes Anne

Thanks Anne. Was the paperwork recorded in a central place like a Titles
Office?

regards

Lyn
