Hi,

Does anyone know if there is an index online for Wills proved in Chester in the 1700's and 1800's

Thank you

That index is of wills proved at Chester, still held at Chester. Some "Chester" wills relate to Lancashire (parts that were in the diocese at the time) - they have been transferred to Lancashire RO, for which there is also an index online, though I'm not sure if this is complete.
