This dataset is an index to all 82,000 cases tried in the Court of Chancery during the reign of Charles I, ie between 1625 and 1649. Chancery records are of particular value to family historians, because they often reveal personal, business and family relationships in more detail than almost any other source.

The index itself identifies only the surnames of the plaintiff and the defendant, and gives the reference for the source documents held at The National Archives. We provide an abstract service, which will allow you to determine how valuable the case records are likely to be to you. Click here to view Example Abstracts.
