Susan Moore is a specialist in the records of the Equity Courts, particularly the Court of Chancery. Her entire working career has been spent as a freelance professional historical researcher since graduation from the University of St Andrews in the 1970s.

Although now based in Somerset, Susan spends most of her time carrying out research in the National Archives, visiting other archives as the need arises, so there is scarcely an archive or type of record that has not been looked at during her long career.

Land ownership and occupation is at the heart of most of the current projects, with successful completion of

• Biography of 150 people associated with a medieval manor house
• The history of a Somerset village and manor
• The history of various gentry families in north west Devon
• Work on tax records in the National Archives to clarify the medieval and early modern ownership and occupation of lands in north west Wales, and
• A long project researching the move by a family to the far west of Cornwall from the Devon border, now confirmed as the early 1580s by records of the court of the Star Chamber.

All research is undertaken personally by Susan Moore.
