*Ann Pickering brought to her husband, John Vaughan, manors and lands in Westmorland, Cumberland and Yorkshire which are noted on Laughton's MS, see Familiae Minorum Gentium, volume 3, page 993: https://archive.org/details/familiaeminorumg03hunt/page/1156.
I don't suppose there are books or, better still, a website that list the names and numbers of old manuscripts with a summary of the content of each, along the lines of the Harleian and Bodleian books, and where they are stored? Failing that, how isthe researcher to go about finding them, short of consulting every archive in the country?
Any tips would be welcome!

Ugh! it looks like FMG is the only published work _ever_ to refer to such a manuscript, at least by that name. Since in FMG it is referred to as a collection of Yorkshire pedigrees, your best bet would probably be via the community of Yorkshire

that I saw a few days ago should be helpful?
"The National Archives (UK) has today announced that it has now
completed its programme to update the Manorial Documents Register (MDR)
and make it available online. The Register is the official index to
English and Welsh manorial records. It provides brief descriptions of documents and their locations in public and private hands.
Further details, and boxes to search the Register, by manor or by
manorial documents, are at

The full note is even less helpful in that it goes on to say that "These names are from a copy by Mr Monk."
The introduction to Vol 1 says of Hunter:
"After his death a large number of his Manuscripts became the property
of the British Museum. They are numbered Add. MSS. 24,436-630,
24,864-885, 25,459-481, 25,676-7, 31,021."
If the source was a copy in the possession of Hunter then it might be amongst those.
