Extracts from indexes to Act Books
at York Registry

No distinction was made between variant spellings of the surname when compiling this list except that entries which had the surname with the ..ITT ending are indicated. Modern spelling of forenames and place names has been used throughout. These extracts were taken from indexes originally published by Yorkshire Archaeological Society in their “Records” series. The original documents were written in Latin - transcripts and translations of those marked with an *asterisk have been made Send e-mail for details.
