Wills or Record Office name check

[MattD30]

Is anyone able to check any indexes for Wills proved in Salisbury for the names Anthrum/Anthrym, Illes, Keen/Keene/Kene, Stockbury, Thombs/Tomms, Vyning/Vining or Wyat[t]/Wiat[t] in the Salisbury area for the 16th-18th centuries?

Also I have been trying to search the Wiltshire History Centre catalogue for these names but with no luck. If anyone is looking on the catalogue for their own research I would appreciate it if you could check any of the names listed. Does anyone know of any other online Wiltshire resources I can use to check these names?

Thanks
Matt

Have you tried the Perogative Court of Canterbury Wills ?

There are a few Keen(e)s showing up in Wiltshire.
1 William Vyning in 1604 New Sarum, a couple of Vyninge's elsewhere in Wiltshire.

Wyatt shows 5 entries for New Sarum, plus others in Wiltshire

And a Henry Wiatt 1642 New Sarum

Phoned the Wiltshire Archives today and got copies of 4 wills emailed to me. Thankfully all did relate to my family. Interestingly two have included names of children I was previously unaware of.
