Title: Index to L.C.C Wills
Post by: QueenoftheWest on Thursday 28 October 21 16:45 BST (UK)
Does anybody have a working link for the index to L.C.C wills? I had one, but it is no longer functional  :(

I am looking for an index to wills proved between 1700-1800, but would also be grateful for an index to 1600-1700.

I can't find anything on the subscription sites, and Lincstothepast has very few wills.

This mentions an Adobe version for 1701-1799 - www.lincstothepast.com/Lincoln-Consistory-Court-Wills/793272.record?pt=S.
Some time ago, I managed to download it but can't find the link now.

I may be able to send a copy, if you can send me a PM with your email address. However, I only have standard broadband and, because it is so large, I don't know how easy it will be.

Regards,

David

Thanks, Vance. I have not got that far back yet (I am still in the late 1600s on the Lincolnshire side of my family), but it's always helpful to have a resource to refer to if and when I do.

Hi Edward,

David (DCB) very kindly sent me the 1701-1799 index (thank you David!).

Vance Mead also provided a very helpful link to some indexes on archive.org for the periods 1320-1600, 1601-1652, 1540-1659 and 1506-31.

I suppose all that's left is the period 1660-1700, although I am not sure if there is an existing index for this period.

Queenie  :)
