The complete version of my work can be consulted at the Buckinghamshire Record Office and at the Buckinghamshire Family History Society. Their electronic version on CD includes the transcription from the Latin of the Manor Court Rolls (1443 to 1700s) used as sources for this work. Copies on CD can now also be obtained by contacting me at the address below.
The text "Around Princes Risborough" (click on Related Text) does not include these transcriptions.
While my main focus has been the Loosley name, other names include all the copyholders of Princes Risborough, which include Dorrell, Darvil, Carpenter, Rogers, Wade, Hawes, Gomme, Boller, Coker; place names are Alscott, Summerleys, Speene and Loosley Row.
I am currently tracing the copyholders back to Anglo-Saxon times, because we know that they had the right to their land from the time when "Edward (the Confessor) was alive and dead."
