National Archives File Reference IND1/1944
Background
In the High Court of Chancery, the Master’s report back to the Court often formed the basis of the court’s final decrees. The National Archives guide on their website http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/chancery-equity-suits-after-1558/ notes that these for 1606 to 1759 are indexed by IND 1/1878-2028.
One page (part of the Plaintiff names starting with ‘A’) in one of these index volumes (IND1/1944) has been sampled.
A cross reference has been made in the National Archives discovery catalogue, to see any of pleadings (bills and answers) or depositions can be identified. In most cases related papers been identified (see below). It should be noted however, that the matching is purely on the basis of the catalogue information and the original documents have not been checked.
The corresponding Masters reports will be in C 38/190 “A-F. Index in IND 1/1944” date 1675.
Again the original document C38/190) has not been checked to prove that it does indeed contain the listed reports.
