Index to the wills and Administration in the probate registry of Bristol --

Anyone know how I could get copies of these wills?

For background, there is a previous thread of HILLHOUSE of Bristol

Ancestry as

Index to Bristol Wills 1572-1792

Just lists two later HILLHOUSE

James - 1764

Checking with Bristol Record Office on line

James HILLHOUSE - Jnr: City of Bristol, Merchant

William HILLHOUSES - City of Bristol, Gentleman
