Each row follows one family through the records of Stalbridge Weston — every grant, survey entry and valuation in which the surname appears, together with the family's wills, inventories and administrations. Round dots are land transactions; diamonds are probate documents, and clicking one opens its full transcript; squares mark the manor's lawsuits, and clicking one opens the case page. Spelling wandered over the years (Snooke, Snowke, Snook); variants are gathered under one head, and listed when you select a family.
A long empty stretch in a row is as likely to be a gap in the surviving documents as a quiet spell in the family's affairs. Entries with doubtful readings are marked when you open them.
Hover a mark for the entry. Click a family's name — or any round dot — for the family's full record below; click a diamond to read the will, inventory or administration itself.
Compiled from the 1611 survey, the 1662 schedule, the surviving court rolls (1586–1716), the valuations of 1717 and 1721, and the probate documents transcribed elsewhere on this site, with the manor's lawsuits from the Star Chamber and Chancery case files. A family's thread runs only as far as the documents do: absence of a mark is not evidence of absence.
