You can do a search on the following website: http://www.hmcourts-service(.)gov(.)uk/onlineservices/index.htm I haven't tested it for cases from the 1800s or 1900s. Hope it works!

Try the National Archives online Christine. Here is their search everything link: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/search/quick_search.aspx?search_text=&go.x=34&go.y=4 I found details for several chancery cases for my lot. The site gives names and summaries but you will probably have to go to the NA itself to view the actual parchments. That is quite an adventure in itself! Tracey
