PRC/22 - Canterbury Probate Records (1396-1858) Database
« on: Thursday 06 September 18 19:54 BST (UK) »
Hi

Does anyone know what the reference PRC/22 refers to on the Canterbury Wills Database? I think they are Acts but I'm not sure which Court.

I think PRC stands for Probate Records Canterbury.  22 might refer to a specific year?

Not coming up with anything to explain the number at the moment.
