help with Will proving 1617
« on: Friday 20 January 23 17:18 GMT (UK) »

There is no will and no probate. It's simply a record that the inventory has been submitted into court. The two Williams mentioned here are church officials. William Parker is the same person as in your previous thread, and the date is the same …

Thank you, thank you, thank you Bookbox. Yes, you're right about the will and probate - I confused myself as I'm working on another Leytye which has a will and inventory.
