The following 'Wills' have been cross referenced from Family Group pages in this site (but in a few cases the link has yet to be established). The 'Wills' are of four types. a) Transcripts, b) Copies from Microfilm, c) Seen 'Will' and extracted base information, d) 'Will' listed in an index and not seen or is unreadable. A lot of 'Wills' do NOT have a transcript but over time hopefully this situation will be improved.
NOTE: If anyone reading this page has a Transcript or a good copy of any of the 'Wills' mentioned then I would be very thankful for a copy.
Where a link is shown under Copy/Transcript, then either the photocopy of the Will is provided or a transcription if available. Where a link is shown under Fam Grp Ref then this will access the appropriate Family Group details.
These are in surname/forename/date order. For shortcut click on appropriate name.
