I still have my cc slip from the NA Record Copying Department 01Jul2009
2 x high resolution images, blank cd and postage = £28:30

I simply walked my FP package to the counter. But for you there is likely a charge for the time for someone to have located your data and calculated the copying/scanning cost. Also, if you are going to be sent a cd then overseas postage will cost more.

When you finally receive your data perhaps you would share your comments on value received? Such as number of pages, quality of images, etc.

Sounds as if there quite a few pages in your ordered files!

Looks like 8 x A2 pages and 3xA3. They are going to scan so I can download them....15 working days so I have to wait. Will update thread when I get them.

Links to the documents arrived on 5th Jan so pretty good service. Cost GBP106! I have printed out 7 of the documents on A2 and can just read them, so the originals would be A1 size or even larger. The smaller ones are just oaths and appointments. Of the 7 large ones, one has the complaint on it; another has a list of questions for witnesses and the rest are witness statements.... Esentially about 1670 Elizabeth Ferrier Married John Williams and brought land with her which was her portion of her fathers estate. On his death he willed his property to a cousin and Elizabeth kept a lifetime interest in the estate. She then remarried a Reynold Evans and after his death married again to Richard Williams. No children and she died in 1738 aged 98. The heir of the cousin mentioned above is suing Richard Williams son by his first marriage for the return of the property.....it is going to take me some time to get my head round this lot.

awful to think that a husband could just decide his wife's property should go to his (fairly distant) heir and she'd have nothing to say about it and get only the life estate, rather than the inheritance going back to her own family

not that her third husband's son really had any more of a fair claim to it!

....but it's all the names, dates, properties etc in the depositions that help me!
