Do you have reason to believe that any of those are period? If you 
have an actual period reference, someone might be able to point you 
at a period cookbook from the appropriate time and place, and you 
could look through it for your recipe.

If, on the other hand, these are modern recipes that you think might 
conceivably be period, you  may find that looking through period 
cookbooks for period recipes you like is more productive than 
starting with a modern recipe and searching until you find it in a 
period cookbook. The latter procedure is rather like finding a 
Chinese restaurant by first picking an address at random, then 
looking through the listing of Chinese cookbooks in the yellow pages 
to see if any of them happen to be at that address.
