Extracts
from indexes to York
wills
These
extracts were taken from microfilm copies of
indexes originally published by the
Yorkshire Archaeological Society (YAS).
Modern spelling of forenames and place names
has been used throughout and wills are
listed in chronological order. Some
original wills were not registered - this is
not, therefore, a definitive list. It
should be noted that these indexes refer to
registers containing manuscript copies
of the original wills. These
were not necessarily contemporary copies and
as with all transcripts there are bound to
have been errors and omissions.
*Full
transcripts of all of these copy wills have
been made. Send e-mail
for details.
