 ST ANDREWS DEEDS, 1692-1891

 

[Principally from the Burgh Deed Registers, 1692-1891. There are gaps in these Registers from 1699-1706, 1711-1726, and 1771-1778, and we have used the Burgh Deed Warrants, found in the B65/22 "Record" Boxes to fill these gaps. These record boxes were created in the 1930s, perhaps by Miss D M Bushnell, when a very partial attempt was made to arrange the papers in subject groupings. The result of this re-arranging was the Burgh Deed Warrants, Commissary Deed Warrants and other loose MS papers being broken up, and mixed up together. We have given the location of all the Burgh Warrants that we were able to find in the 122 B65/22 Record Boxes. These boxes also contain other Deeds Warrants, which do not appear to have been "booked" or registered, and some of these, though not all, have been included in this indexing. We have also given the Deeds registered in the Regality Court of St Andrews from 1715-17 and 1726-35, and contained in the volume, GD1/361/1]
