A big thank you

We would like to give a big thank you to all those involved in the transcribing of Tithe map and apportionment records. I’d especially like to thank three very experienced volunteers, Gaenor Williams, Derek Jackson and Bill Sutton for all their efforts in the transcription and for also taking on the role of managing and organising the Documentary days.  I'd also like to give a massive thank you to John Draisey (County Archivist) and all his staff at the Devon Records Office for their support and assistance during the life of the project.
