WILLS - Newark area - Deaneries of - Retford, Newark, Nottingham & Bingham
« on: Wednesday 06 August 14 09:42 BST (UK) »
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.

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. 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. :)
