Manor of Bonsall Court Books

I’m interested in the Manor of Bonsall (Derbyshire. UK) Court Books. There are at least 13 physical books and one of these has been partially digitised and appears here

https://www.familysearch.org/records/images/image-details?page=1&place=10608537&rmsId=M9SW-7M3&imageIndex=0&singleView=true

I’ve tried everything to find the rest of the items in this series but have had no luck. Can anyone tell me if I can see a complete set of images please? If not, what catalogue details would I need to ensure I order the correct microfilm reels to view at my local centre?

Many thanks, Helen

    In the catalog I typed in England, Derbyshire, Ashleyhay and under Manors - Court records I could only find the record that you indicated above. You can also search England, Derbyshire, Bonsall. I am not aware the FamilySearch has more records than those listed.

    You might find more information in the Research Wiki under England Court Records.

    https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/England_Court_Records

    Also the research Wiki can give you information on Derbyshire, England Genealogy: "Derbyshire, England Genealogy • FamilySearch"

    Good luck.

    It appears in addition to the microfilm mentioned above, there are two more microfilms available, viewable on home computers, as set out in the catalogue entry https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/513068 Court records, 1665-1936 Manor of Bonsall. Court (Derbyshire) (Main Author)

    This link shows https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/513068 Court records, 1665-1936 Manor of Bonsall. Court (Derbyshire) (Main Author)

    4 films three have a camera and you can look at them on line the 4th one has a microfilm reel and that one is not available to look at. We no longer loan out microfilm, If the film has a DGS no. it is in process to make available we don't know when this will happen, it could be that the record holders don't want it available yet, or it is a technical issue.

    Thanks so much for your help everyone. It looks like items 4452563, 4452564 and 4452565 contain the books I’m interested in. I can only view thumbnails (frustrating). They have icons which show a camera with a key above. Does this mean that I can view them at a family history center? 

    If anyone is able to check the actual reel headers and give me a bit more detail of what they contain, I’d be so grateful.

    Kind wishes, Helen

    As stated in my post above (https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/comment/371048/#Comment_371048) there are two more microfilms available which display to me as being available on home computers. However you need to be signed in in order to see this. if you are signed in and still see the icon for viewing restrictions, perhaps you get a different result in different countries, although I did not realise this was possible.

    Thanks so much Maureen, I wasn't logged in (I'm a bit new to this). You've made me very happy and given me lots to do now. Kind wishes, Helen.

    My view is that it is very confusing for catalogue details to vary according to whether to not you are signed in, especially as you can think you are signed in, but can be logged out by the system and be unaware of this. I also note that the Help article

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/what-are-notes-or-film-digital-notes-in-the-catalog makes NO mention that the icons you see can vary according to whether or not you are signed.

    @N Tychonievich for hopefully passing on to the relevant area re wording in the Help article and hopefully to the engineers also for system changes.
