Main Index of Transcriptions

Over the course of our research, fellow researchers and I have made reference to a large number of primary ane secondary source materials, and awe have transcribed a lot of these materials in order to make better use of them ourselves and also to make them readily available to others. This page contains links to these transcriptions.

Due to the large (and ever-growing) number of transcriptions, I have divided them up into several sub-headings. Click on the following links to view a page containing the sub-headings.


Books and Memoirs This includes transcriptions of memoirs written by family members, and also (where permission has been given) books that have been published about the Burbury/Burbery/Burberry family.

Wills and Administrations Transcriptions of wills and administrations. It also includes summaries of some wills where full transcriptions are not yet available.

Obituaries Obituaries for family members, taken mostly from newspapers and other publications, and also including a few obituaries published online.

PRO HO17/99 Documents
(Trial and Reprieve of Thomas Burbury of VDL)
The documents in Public Record Office bundle HO 17/99 deal with the trial and subsequent reprieve of my great-great-great-grandfather Thomas Burbury (1809--1870) of Coventry and Van Diemen's Land. There are so many documents in this bundle that I have provided a separate index for them. Transcribing them is an on-going project. Help is always welcome!!! I have also included links to other transcriptions relating to Thomas' trial here.

Miscellaneous Transcriptions Transcriptions of other items that don't fit into the above categories, such as letters, articles and general documents.
