1677 doc - any place names?
« on: Monday 05 August 24 13:50 BST (UK) »
This attached extract is the first quarter of a document (dated 1675 - 77) concerning repayment of bonds.  However I am at a loss to determine any location, but I think it should be somewhere in Suffolk.
Can anyone please spot any location names in this extract.  It would be very helpful.

I can post further sections if required.
PIPE/PYPE, Suffolk & Norfolk
CABLE, Norfolk
BARTON, JUPP, WOOD, MUNN, PETERS, MARTIN, Kent & Sussex
OXENBURY, Dorset
WILDE, Derbyshire

There's no place name in the text so far, nor would we necessarily expect there to be one unless it is related to the matter in dispute.

So far it establishes that certain complainants exhibited their bill of complaint against certain defendants in the Chancery Court in Michaelmas Term of 1676.

This is on AALT, starting here:

It continues a long way, but I didn't see any placenames.

Thank you both for your comments, and for the AALT link - quite a goldmine.
My copy came from family genealogy papers, but with no references. I can probably ascertain the area by following the other names mentioned - maybe!!

As it's a final decree in the court of Chancery (C 78), you may be able to identify the Chancery pleadings in the TNA catalogue, where the description may mention the location. Try running some searches there on the surnames of plaintiff and defendant, with variant spellings, using series C in the reference field, and an approximate date? It could take a while but might produce a result.

Thanks Bookbox.  Already started on TNA, mammoth task as you say. No luck yet.
Might try Norfolk Record office - just a hunch!
