Kent Inventories
« on: Tuesday 28 November 17 00:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I have been researching some Wills on the Canterbury Probate Records database and hope someone can help me with clarifying what the references to the inventories refer to.

Wills proved in the Archdeaconry Court of Canterbury have the following references:

PRC/16 refer to original Wills

PRC/17 refer to the Registered Copies of these Wills

Wills proved in the Consistitory Court have these references:

PRC/31 - referring to the original Wills

PRC/32 - referring to the Registered Copies.

What confuses me though are the references to the Inventories. Inventories in the Archdeaconry Court have these references, PRC/10 or PRC/11. I am not sure if PRC/10 refers to the originals and PRC/11 refer to the Registered Copies although that is how it looks. If that's the case then I guess PRC/31 refer to the originals and PRC/32 refer to the registered copies in the CCC.

Can anyone confirm my theory?

Thanks

Matt

Hi Peter

That's fantastic, thanks for that info. I had looked on the CCA website and TNA website but not found anything myself.

This will definitely be a big help.
