Link: Devon & Exeter Oath Rolls
« on: Saturday 28 October 06 06:02 BST (UK) »
Hi

I have just been made aware of this site which is new to me. The Devon & Exeter Oath Rolls for 1723.

There is a lot of interesting history regarding this and other rolls PLUS  searchable indexes.

http://www.foda.org.uk/oaths/intro/introduction1.htm

I think I have discovered a couple of my ancestors on it, so hope others might find it useful also.
