Unless otherwise stated, original copies of Wills dated prior to 1858 are usually found in the appropriate Diocesan Record Office for the court where the Will was proved - for Derbyshire, this is the Lichfield Joint Record Office. Copies of Wills for which Probate was granted at the PCC (Prerogative Court of Canterbury) may be obtained via the DocumentsOnline website.

Registered copies of Wills dated after 1858 may be found at the Probate Department of The Principal Registry Family Division (Probate Search Room, First Avenue House, 42-49 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6NP), at local Registries, and sometimes on microfilm at County Record Offices. Further information on post-1858 Wills, and forms for obtaining copies by post may be found on the Government's "Court Service" Wills & Probate pages.

Abbreviations which may be used on this page are:-

(Ad) "Admon", or Letters of Administration.
(I) Inventory (a list of the deceased's goods, and their value)
(N) A Nuncupative Will is one declared by a legal representative, as being indicative
of the deceased's wishes, and will often refer to the Testator in the third person.
(#) Indicates the Will is a 'duplicate' - that is, more than one person has submitted an
abstract from the same original Will.
 * An asterisk against a surname indicates the Executor(s) of the Will, or, in the case
of Administration (Ad), the Administrator(s)
i/t/p "in the parish (of)".
