C 16/84 Chancery pleadings described at item level. Just wonder whether the information available will actually tell me anything! |
Lol!
For some reason, best known to the clerks of the day, items were filed in strict chronological order, rather than by case. Bit like me shoving all my filing into a big carrier bag, vowing to do it "some day".
Consequently, these records have rarely been looked at, because you have to wade through everything for the next bit of paper.
A team at TNA have been cataloguing this. I don't know if they are working steadily through, or have a remit just to catalogue a sample. The records are kept in Cheshire because, surprisingly, nobody ordered them because nobody knew what they contained.
The bill is, I think, the first salvo and should set out why the will is being contested.
As for going there to look at it
Ask me nicely!
