BURNETT extracts from Indexes to Administrations in Act Books at York Registry

No distinction was made between the BURNET and BURNETT variants of the surname when compiling this list but entries which had the surname with the ..ITT ending are indicated. Modern spelling of forenames and place names has been used throughout. These extracts were taken from indexes originally published by Yorkshire Archaeological Society in their “Records” series. The original documents were written in Latin - I have made transcripts and translations of those marked with an *asterisk Send e-mail for details.
