That's it. That's the lot. Waiting to hear from the Owen family how they want to handle the rights management.
I built a local search index and I update it whenever I upload new documents. If you click the link in the upper right, it'll take you to a functional search page. I've also tweaked the way everything works on mobile phones. It should be more functional.
Mary Owen DID NOT make typos! All errors were introduced by the scanning process, but the OCR was very rough on these documents and there are many errors. They turn up in predictable patterns: it doesn't like the £ sign or exclamation points. My copy was hole punched; it hallucinates when it gets to the hole.
Every document is looked at four times in the course of tagging, but that's not the same as carefully proofed. If you see any problems, please report them to editor@ryelocalhistory.org. I'd be most grateful.
