Archdeanry of Lewes wills Clark 1832

[marinerclark]

I decided to check the East Sussex Record Office website to follow up a new lead and found that the wills are listed individually.
   Henry Clarks will was  registered in 1819 and proved in June of 1832 a month after he died.  The website says no ordering must view in office.  I am 6000 miles away.  Is anyone willing to look at this will or have access to abstracts.   Thank you for any advice or help    LizR

I can't believe It.  So simple a solution.  Thank you for helping me.   LizR

Thank you for providing the link.   Would not have found the will without it.   I tried to find the Archdeanry records through the card catalog but this is micro film.  How do I find this?  I have 3 other wills I would love to read.  Again thank you.  I have been waiting years to read that will.   LizR

Hi Liz
In the FS catalogue you need to put in Sussex (England, Sussex)
Then from the long list select Probate Records (39 of them)
Lewes wills -
Probate records, 1527-1858
Author: Church of England. Diocese of Chichester. Consistory Court (Archdeaconry of Lewes); East Sussex Record Office

It's all microfilm, and we have to find what we want on them ourselves. Gets harder the further you go back. Later ones seem to be in order of date proved.
If you need any help you could post the other names.

Hello  I found the microfilm by using the film number.    I was looking in the year registered rather than proved.  Will try again.
     Names are Mary Gravett    date of will   11 Nov 1807    Proved 23 Oct 1820
                     Thomas Clark    probate 5 Aug 1800
                      Thomas Clark    probate 1 Nov 1849

Again   thank you so much.     LizR

I haven't found them yet.     Family search doesn't always recognize that I am logged in.   Or I am sent to the order the film page.  Any tips will be appreciated.    LizR

Dear Nell
     Thank you so much.  I am having fun.      My notes have a Thomas Clark 1800 as well as Thomas Gravett.   I will double check.  I spent hours last night trying to find Mary Gravett with no success.  Looking at the page header I think you were in the 1820 micrifilm.  I just missed it.   Thank you for helping me.   Elizabeth marries Henry Clark's son in 1810 Her mother was alive to see her settled.  LizR
