I'm trying to read George Corry's will in the England and Wales, Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills 1384-1858 on Ancestry. Apparently George had land in Cork (Ballinboren?) but lived in England.

I am an ancestor of John Corry and Alice Vaughan Corry of Rockcorry Castle.They were my 6th Grandparents, their son Thomas Corry was my 5th Grandfather, followed by his son George Corry 1764 - 1865.  My 3rd Grandfather, Isaac Corry, son of George, was born in Middlesex England and died in Perth, Ontario, Canada in 1881. The Corry family established four lumber mills in Ontario and changed the spelling of their name from Corry to Korry which enabled them to make a K in their logs with an axe.  My mother Orpha (Corry) Korry, was a  Great-Granddaughter of Isaac Corry. I would appreciate any information on the Corry family in Ireland, and in England, after they left Rockcorry, Ireland. Thank you for your assistance. PM
