Dorney Wills in the National Archives
The National Archives is a veritable treasure chest of peoples Wills. So far we have identified 50 of them dating from 1470 to 1857.
What are these records?
These records are Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) wills in series PROB 11 made between 1384 and 12 January 1858.
These PCC wills are all registered copy wills. They are the copies of the original probates written into volumes by clerks at the church courts.
Until 12 January 1858 all wills had to be proved by the church and other courts. The PCC was the most important of these courts dealing with relatively wealthy individuals living mainly in the south of England and most of Wales.
What information do the records contain?
The information found in wills includes the following:
- where they lived
- name of person responsible for carrying out the wishes (executor)
- date of will
- witnesses to the will
- chief beneficiaries
