Notes |
- The majority of the transcripts presented here will be from originals held in one of two places, as indicated in the heading of the transcript: ?ORO or OHC - designates Oxfordshire Record Office (ORO) or Oxfordshire History Centre (OHC) where you will find wills proved locally, when the deceased's property was all within the diocese. During 2011, Oxfordshire Record Office was renamed Oxfordshire History Centre and the web address changed.
The link here will direct you to their new web site at: http://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/oxfordshirehistory
?TNA - designates The National Archives where you will find wills proved at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, when the deceased's property was in more than one diocese. Copies of wills held in The National Archives, may now be purchased directly on-line, from Documents Online.
For the small number of transcripts from originals located elsewhere, refer to the details given in the heading, using the GENUKI web site mentioned above, or your favourite internet search engine, if the repository is not familiar to you.
