Newland Register Pages 1560.pdf

This is the 2nd & 3rd pages of the Newland Register 1560 which has been partly eaten by rats or mice!

It shows you what the transcribers are up against and how difficul these old records are to transcribe. Somehow though with time and patience they are able to make sense of what is written on the pages so the details can be of help to us in our research.

How did you go transcribing the pages?
