1826 Will of Thomas KEARNS

[grantleydawn]

Being new to Irish research, I don’t know where I can access a copy of a Will, in particular the following.

At the rear of "Index to the Prerogative Wills of Ireland, 1536-1810" by Arthur Vicars (1897), there are 2 pages (being pages 510 & 511) headed ;
“The Hawkins Collection of Wills, 1771-1852”.

I am very interested in one of those Wills, in particular ;
"1826 KEARNES, Thos., Cuffe-street, Dubl., builder. (Signature of testator and witnesses obliterated)"

Can anyone help me please?

Regards
Grantley

Thank you to you both.

I do appreciate your help.

As it turned out, we are all searching the same places and revealing the same stuff, which is great.

I am surprised what is available today, compared to about 8 years ago when I last looked at my Irish roots. I do have other branches to explore, but in their turn.
