York (PCY and Exchequer Court) Wills & Admons

1389-1857 Indexes at the Borthwick Institute, York

 

The index which follows was compiled jointly by John Marsden (000/000), Steve Marsden (050/128) and Phil Marsden (143/259). The information is taken from the indexes published by the Yorkshire Archaeological Society and the manuscript calendars of probates at the Borthwick Institute, St. Anthony's Hall, Peasholme Green, York, YO1 2PW from whom copies of the probate documents can be obtained on payment of a fee. The documents may consist of Wills, Letters of Administration, Inventories and Tuition Bonds.

Copies of a number of these documents are held in the Marsden Archive and you are recommended to contact John Marsden before ordering documents since the necessary information may be available without the need to purchase the probate documents. Likewise, deposits of copies of probate documents from the York and other registries will always be welcomed.

The date given in the first column is the date probate was granted. Dates in later columns are usually the date a will was drafted. Where a value is quoted (in the later entries) this refers to the valuation of the estate for probate. The references (if any) in the final two columns are to the probate act book volume and page. If ordering copies all information given in this index should be quoted.

Volume 6, 1389 - 1514.
