A system of registration of deeds began in 1708 and although it was not compulsory, it was generally held that the courts would be more favourable when issuing decrees and judgements where title had been registered. However, for those who were not wealthy enough to ever consider court proceedings the need to register was not an issue particularly as a fee was required. '''In addition to land deeds, marriage settlements, leases, mortgages, and wills are also found with deed registrations'''. These records can be very helpful, especially for time periods prior to civil registration.<br> | A system of registration of deeds began in 1708 and although it was not compulsory, it was generally held that the courts would be more favourable when issuing decrees and judgements where title had been registered.
