Salisbury Diocesan probate records online

Legg inn av Gjest » 28 mar 2007 10:49:18

Listers with interests in Wiltshire, Berkshire and other areas
formerly within the probate jurisdiction of the Diocese of Salisbury
may be interested in the availabilty of wills and other testamentary
records online, through the Wiltshire Record Office's site:

http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/leisure-and ... roject.htm

This includes a search facility (eg surname), and in many cases links
to actual PDF copies of the original wills and administatrion grants,
extending back to 1540.

Best of all - unlike the contemporary PCC records - accessing these
original documents (where available) is free. Those records which are
not available via the online site may be ordered directly from the
County Record Office, using the index details available as part of the
project.

Hm, seems to be down at present - great timing! It was working a
couple of days ago when I first came across it, and there is no
indication that its availability will be affected by the current move
of the Record Office itself to new (physical) premises. All I can
suggest is trying again shortly (and keeping fingers crossed) - sorry!
