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.
