Transcripts of documents being used in our parish history research can be found here, including around 300 Leicestershire probate inventories, mostly from the 17th century. These are lists of the possessions owned by someone when they died, so they are valuable for family historians and for the social and economic history of towns and villages. Search by parish name or personal name.<\/p>
