Details of some updates to my web site "Some notes on medieval English
genealogy" are at:
http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/upd ... date.shtml
In the main section of Some corrections and additions to the Complete
Peerage, the following items have been added:
ANGUS (Volume 1, page 149; addition of information about Lucy de Kyme's
sister)
ESSEX (County of) (Volume 5, pages 113, 114 and notes)
ESSEX (County of) (Volume 5, pages 114, 115)
GREY (of Powis) (Volume 6, page 136)
HERON (Volume 6, pages 488, 489)
KYME (Volume 7, page 354)
KYME (Volume 7, page 357)
LANCASTER [County of] (Volume 7, page 410)
LISLE of Kingston Lisle (Volume 8, chart pedigree)
LISLE of Rougemont (Volume 8, pages 69, 70 and notes d-f)
LUMLEY (Volume 8, page 274 and note e)
MORTIMER or MORTEMER of Wigmore (Volume 9, page 276 and note m)
OXFORD (Volume 10, page 201)
SUDELEY (Volume 12, part 1, page 415 and note o)
The following items have been updated:
BRADESTON (Volume 2, page 273; addition of date by which Isabel was married
to Robert de Rigge)
CAUNTELO (Volume 3, page 113; addition of date of death of William de Kyme,
and the place of burial of Nicholas de Cauntelo and Joan)
CONYERS (Volume 3, page 404; addition of date after which William Conyers
married Anne Nevill)
HERON (Volume 6, page 488; correction of the name of Sir William Heron's
wife)
KYME (Volume 7, pages 355, 356; addition of first marriage of William de
Kyme, the date of his death, and the place of burial of his widow and her
second husband)
MORTIMER of Chirk (Volume 9, page 254; parentage of Lucy according to the
Foundation History of Wigmore Priory noted)
MORTIMER of Chirk (Volume 9, page 254; identity of Juliane according to the
Foundation History of Wigmore Priory noted)
The item on HERON (Volume 6, pages 488, 489) previously in the "proposed"
section, has been removed, as one of the new items supersedes it.
Two other developments are especially worth noting:
(1) DEEDS - a collection of the Latin texts of more than 8000 charters from
England and Wales extracted from 170 published cartularies, mainly from the
12th and 13th centuries - is now available online, courtesy of Prof. Michael
Gervers of the University of Toronto and his research team. The largest
numbers of charters come from Lincoln Cathedral, the Order of the Knights of
the Hospital of St John, and the abbeys of Oseney, Cirencester and Eynsham.
The collection can be browsed or searched.

(Thanks to Rosie Bevan for pointing this out to me.)
(2) British History Online has made available a lot more texts from
published volumes of the Victoria County History. There are no fewer than 24
additional volumes, covering 11 counties (including 8 for Middlesex).

And the concerning thing is that one of the modern VCH volumes has some
facts in it in which I have been involved and I know that the facts are
not very accurate, hardly facts, even. If they can do that for matters
of current times, what can they do with ancient times?
It may be that their methodology for current times is not to the same
standard as that for ancient times, but even that is a problem.

worth your while registering, as I found it didn't allow me to do anything
particularly useful.
You can read the texts on the site without registering, and can use various
search forms.

All these texts are made available free of charge, but it's worth noting
that the Middlesex VCH is appealing for further funds to continue its work.
