Here is a link for Archdeaconry Wills for the Deaneries of - Retford, Newark, Nottingham & Bingham.
https://dcms.lds.org/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE1987568&from=fhd
They are actual images of Wills & Admons - You can view online or even better, download the PDF....
As there are 527 pages which equates to about 175 individual Wills & Admons and no index, it is a bit of a trawl to find anything.
I did start to make notes of ones I might be interested in , so I could refer back to them any time.
Then decided to go the whole hog....... so, I have attached a finding aid - hopefully I haven't made any whopping mistakes!
Covers from about 1846 to 1858..... earliest death of names mentioned, about 1811.
Places mentioned re the Testators abode=
Averham/ Balderton /Barnby in the Willows/ Besthorpe/ Clifton/ Coddington/ Collingham North & South / Eakring / Elston / East Stoke / Farndon / Girton/ Gonalston / Hawton / Kelham / Kneesall / Laxton / Maplebeck / NEWARK upon Trent / Rolleston / South Scarle / Sutton upon Trent / Syerston / Tuxford / Weston / Worksop

Thanks Sheila
That's a good find, I'll keep it for a rainy day when I can't get in the garden.

Hi,
These Archdeanconry of Nottingham wills were filmed by deanery, and these are all wills proved in Newark Deanery, 1846-1858 on FHL film 1278862 (https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/556524). They are organized roughly by date of probate. I have transcribed about 40 of them, so will make a list and post it here for anyone interested. :)
