Who should I contact to obtain a copy of this will? I'm not quite sure where to go now!

It looks like the will of George Lamb who died in 1621 at Huntingdon. He is the earliest ancestor for OH I have found. He married Agnys Corbett in 1579.

I have found this:

Leicestershire
Bishop's Commissary Court
Archdeaconry Court
Prebendary Court of St Margaret
Chapelry of Knighton
Commissary Court of the Manor of Rothley
Commissary Court of the Manor of Evington and Groby
Consistory Court of Lincoln

Probably best to start by contacting Leicestershire Archives to ask whether they have it, then.

The second one in your post 1 - that is the peculiar court, which is what you want. The other in your post two is for standard wills, not those concerning peculiars.

Thanks, KiteRunner and OC. I shall be chuffed to bits to lay my hands of this.

Kate, that's great, thank you.

It's listed here as a Huntingdonshire will, so if Leics. RO don't have it, I would try Hunts.
