Kent Probate Records
« on: Friday 24 November 17 15:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I was recently looking up some probate records on the Canterbury Wills website and I have a question about one of the references.

I know that PRC/17 and PRC/16 are the Archdeaconry Court, and 32/31 are the Consistitory Court however I am confused when it comes to the Acts listed.

Acts are given reference PRC/3 but I am not sure which court they would have been proved in.

Can anyone advise me?

Thanks
Matt

Hi Susan

Thank for that. If PRC/3 references refer to the index of Archdeaconry Court Act books then would the actual Acts be recorded under a different reference?

How much info can be gained from these documents in comparison to Wills?

All the best

Matt
