Legal records

Common Pleas and Kings Bench

These records are from AALT, the Anglo-American Legal Tradition. The intention is that I will eventually skim or index all of the Common Pleas and King's Bench records from about 1420 to 1560. This is a massive amount of material, over a million images, and I expect it will take about ten years.

I will be looking for and listing people named Mede, Pontifex, Kellogg and Goldhurst, mainly in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Essex and Buckinghamshire. I am mainly skimming the records for entries in these counties, as well as indexing entire terms for Prof. Palmer's project at AALT. So the people here are mainly in these four counties, with a few from other counties when I happened to find them.
