Click here to see an Alphabetical list of Wills of Derbyshire. If anyone has Derbyshire, or Derbyshire-related Wills, and are willing to share the details with GENUKI on their site, Rosemary Lockie would be delighted if you would be so kind as to send her details. The email address to use is at the end of the notes. The idea for the Alphabetical list of Wills, and other Wills collections, maintained by Rosemary came originally from Leslie Mahler, who emailed her its very first entry, in the hope that it would be useful to someone.

Wills before 1858 and after 1928

Before 1858, wills and administrations were the responsibility of the ecclesiastical courts. As Derbyshire came within the Diocese of Lichfield, these records are held at Lichfield Record Office.
