Autographs
Alienation Office
1627-29 three memoranda relating to Alienation licences bearing the signatures of Anthony Croftes, Francis Poulton, and George Courthope


1627 (10 May) licence to Cuthbert Greenbury and wife Hestor for alienation to Thomas Mitchell


1629 (3 May) licence to Raphe Eure for allienation to Sir Lewes Watson, William Dallyson, Jeffry Palmer, Robert Constable and Philip Dolman


1629 (1 December) licence to Thomas Quincye for alienation to John Brownlowe


Nothing of these types of documents have been located thus far in the PRO, either in the Alienation Office papers or in the Exchquer Accounts of that Office. The Alienation Office records include enrolments and miscellanea, and are manifestly incomplete; these memoranda do not of course contain information unavailable elsewhere, and while they have the appearance of a regular series of records, they may in fact have been generally destroyed as routine papers, after the relevant licences had in fact been issued.
