I ordered a bunch of mid-18th century lease documents from the Devon Archives.
The items were only indexed in the Archives by the principal persons involved in the lease - just two to three names.
However, these documents mention up to a dozen people, with quite good descriptions of the individuals, and summaries of wills, that could be key to help with someone's personal research.
I asked the Devon Archives if they would add the additional names and descriptions to their index, and the answer was no, which was disappointing.
The people named are not my family, but are related to the first husband of my ancestor, a man described in these documents as the said Robert Pitt the younger had not been heard of for sixteen years and was supposed to be dead. They were mostly from Cullompton.
All Devon probate were destroyed in a bombing raid in 1942, so snippets like this seem all the more important.
So the question is, what is something useful I can do with them? I'd like people searching on the internet to be able to find this information.
