BRINKWORTH WILLS
EARLIEST TIMES - 1650
I have compiled this document as part of my research into the social history
of Brinkworth and the surrounding area. I propose to update this collection
as I transcribe more wills for the period, and also to publish further
collections for later periods.
In addition to these wills, I have also collated a large amount of
information about the area and have transcribed several manorial documents,
dating back to the mid-sixteenth century. I am always happy to exchange
information or to help fellow researchers where possible.
This document is in three parts:
1. A list of wills of Brinkworth residents up to the year 1650. This
covers wills proven at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC),
Archdeaconry of Wiltshire (ADW) and the Consistory Court of Sarum
(CS)
Because of the organisation of the calendars for these courts, this
was not an easy list to compile accurately. Therefore, I cannot
guarantee that it is complete.
2. Transcripts of some of the wills listed in section 1. Those wills
fully transcribed have been marked with an asterisk (*) in the right-
hand margin in the list. Those wills for which only an extract have
been taken have been marked with the letter 'E' in the margin.
3. Index to transcribed wills.
