Yorkshire Wills and Probate Records - ancestry

[kiterunner]

Someone was asking about these just the other day, and now here they are!

Well, some of them, anyway. The card catalogue says there are just over 30,000 records. It covers the Archdeaconry of Richmond and the Peculiar of Knaresborough at the moment, with the Peculiar of Masham to be added at a later date.

It also seems to include Heptonstall township accounts for some reason.

That's interesting! Julie and I spent a cold, wet morning at Heptonstall.

Oh dear, Mary, you have started something now! I will have to wade through the Heptonstall records to see if my ancestors are mentioned.

I thought you might be interested :)

I've also been there several times (I used to work just down the road).

Masham has been added.

This has just been updated, but it looks as though it is only the index which has been updated, nothing new actually added.
