Essex Archive

As the Archive is a subscription service this is a list of what I would like to have a look at.

My initial search was for "Belchamp Walter" it was later expanded to include names associated with the village.

The references can be searched on the ERO website and the web-links (URLs) are purposly not clickable but are available on request.

The text in the list is taken from the abstract (Scope and Content) in the listing. The spelling comes from abstract.

Links to pages on this website that are relevant to the archive are added where appropriate.
