Lost Will of Simon Uron ( Uryn ) of Gwennap Corrnwall UK 1660
« on: Thursday 09 November 23 23:14 GMT (UK) »
Referring to the Online Parish Clerk Gwennap web site under "Wills" the above Will of Simon is listed and I take this as sufficient proof of its existence. I applied to the current Records Office in Cornwall for a scanned copy of the original Will under reference no AP/U/29. They sent me 3 documents currently filed under that reference  which appear to relate to a Quit Claim by Simon to his brother Clement. These are definitely not wills but may have been completed at the same time . A further inquiry with the Records Office confirmed they do not know the current whereabouts of the Original.
If anyone knows anything of this Will or even an extract please let me know. Many Thanks   
Warren

Thank you Girl Guide. Your link takes me to Film No 008674388 where images 121 & 122 show 2 documents re Simon which we had found quite some time ago.. Neither of these contain " last will and testament "and do not have any family bequeaths. Records Office sent me these when I ordered a scan of the original will. In later correspondence their opinion was one a copy deed and the other an administration bond. I also looked thru Probate films no 004476804 - 1660 - 1665 film reel no 2 with out any success. The will is not there, not legible or I have missed it. Condition of many is very poor.
Many thanks for your interest.   Warren.

This is the administration of Simon's goods by his brother Clement which suggests there was no will. If there had been a will, there would be no need for the administration.

Many thanks Ospray. I realized that no will was always a possibility.
