The name search will find biographies, personal reminiscences, family histories or works about named buildings, ships, companies or other organizations. Type in the surname and any first names for persons or words from the name of the body for organisations. If you are uncertain of first names type one or more initials followed by * (e.g. Lawrence T* E*). This search will not normally pick up authors, for this you should use the author search.
Enter terms into one or more boxes below and press the search button.

Please note: All items in the collections listed are for reference only. It is regretted that research cannot be carried out by staff on behalf of enquirers. A
professional record searching service is available through the Devon Record Office. Some of the listings include material in collections that are only partly sorted, remotely stored or require special viewing facilities. We therefore strongly advise that you contact us before travelling long distances to consult material. Most of our indexes are work in progress. We are always pleased to learn of errors and will do our best to rectify them when resources permit.
