Family and estate

We have a list of minor collections on our online catalogue. They are listed under the prefix MC and some consist of only one or a few title deeds.

Large family and estate collections are usually divided into sections such as title deeds, manorial records, estate, probate, maps and plans, plus personal (diaries, correspondence).
