GILBERT/RALEIGH 16th century
« on: Wednesday 27 July 22 11:59 BST (UK) »
Probate was granted on the will of Katherine RALEIGH (nee GILBERT) in 1595. It is believed that she married George RALEIGH ca 1545 somewhere in the Torbay area and that they had at least 3 children:-

     Apr 1547   Kateren RAWLEIGH   bap  Stoke Gabriel
09 Jun 1563   Thomas RAYLIGH, son of George   bap Tiverton St Peter
21 Dec 1567   George RAULEIGH   bap  Withycombe Raleigh

Probate was granted on the will of George RALEIGH of Withycombe Raleigh in 1596.

I've failed to obtain copies of the above wills.

If anyone can confirm, refute or add to the above I should be most grateful.

Wills unobtainable, I'm afraid.

Were they destroyed in the Blitz?
