Index to
The History & Antiquities of Holderness.

Please note that this index is given in good faith as a guide to the contents of the book, but there may be errors in both the original index and the transcription of the index. There are many (probably hundreds) of names which appear in the book which are not in the index.

NOTE:

* The index is not quite in alphabetical order, although all the initial letters are grouped together. I would recommend that you use the search facility if you can't find a particular name - use "Ctl F" and do a search.

Numbers in brackets give the number of pages referenced when greater than one.
The same name may occur several times on a single page.
