I am currently locating and adding PDF copies of all Wills held

​

I hold either original copies or transcriptions of MOST of the following Documents. Some include full transcriptions or abstracts of the Will or Administration, together with notes explaining the identity of the testator (and often the other persons mentioned in the document).  It is proving impossible to upload all these documents (some are huge files), so if you are descended from one of the testators, please contact me and if it is feasible, I will forward you the relevant transcription or abstract.
