RECORDS OF MESSRS HAND, MORGAN & OWEN, SOLICITORS, STAFFORD; ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT

This collection is an additional deposit to the records of the firm of solicitors, Messrs Hand, Morgan and Owen, Stafford. Some of the parties and properties named in the records will be found in earlier deposits under the reference D1798. Deeds relating to Staffordshire and Shropshire premises have been arranged topographically rather than by client, due to the large number of disparate premises referred to in the deeds. Premises have been listed under parishes in alphabetical order of parish and township within parish. Deeds relating to premises in Cheshire and Lancashire were already arranged in family groups and have been left in this form.

Records relating to Staffordshire premises have been listed first and records relating to premises in other counties have been listed at the end, alphabetically by county and parish within the county, where appropriate. There is a surname index to the main landowning families which covers both this collection and the earlier deposit.
