Hi Malcolm,
I have just done a "Google" search and there are several entries for the
"Red Book of the Exchequer".
Regards,
Margaret Harvey

Hi All,
Does anyone here know about the "Red Book of the Exchequer"? I believe it
to be a record of 12th/13th century court cases, but that is all I know.
The reason for my interest is that Ancestry.co.uk claim to have a
reference to a
Bebb in this book in their database. I am a little dubious
about this, especially as their web site asks for money before I was able to
get even a title for the entry, and some of their searches are a little
generous with spellings.
But I would like to know a little more!
Cheers,
Malcolm
