Among these archives is a major document concerning Fontaine-Notre-Dame dated June 1613, sales of land in Hennin in 1526, in Lambres-lez-Douay in 1528, and in Douai, such as the one from 1558, but also a receipt for the bequest of a house from 1664, numerous annuity deeds such as the one from 1619 bearing its fine wax seal, annuity and bond deeds dated 1642, 1643, 1663 or 1670; sales of annuities dated 1537, 1543 or 1608, or the one carried out by the Baudelet family in 1640; the redemption of an inherited annuity from 1544; the transfer of an annuity dated 20 January 1609, a land debt dated 1598, bearing a fine seal, or even a final one from 1501 with a mortgage, and an acknowledgement of debt from 1442.
