Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Almost every book on English research highlights the need to examine the wills of our ancestors. . . . [this book] gives us an easy to read detailed guide.” —FGS Forum What are wills, and how can they be used for family and local history research? How can you interpret them and get as much insight from them as possible? Wills are key documents for exploring the lives of our ancestors, their circumstances, and the world they knew. This practical handbook is the essential guide to understanding wills. Wills expert Stuart Raymond traces the history and purpose of probate records and guides readers through the many pitfalls and possibilities these fascinating documents present. He describes the process of probate, gives a detailed account of the content of the various different types of record, and advises readers on how they can be used to throw light into the past, offering factual evidence that no genealogist or local historian can afford to ignore. In a series of concise, fact-filled chapters, Raymond explains how wills came into being, who made them and how they were made, how the probate system operates, how wills and inventories can be found, and how much can be learned from them. In addition to covering probate records in England and Wales, he includes the Channel Islands, Ireland, the Isle of Man and Scotland. This introduction is aimed primarily at family historians who are interested in the wills of particular individuals who are seeking proof of descent and local historians who are interested in the wealth of local historical information that can be gathered from them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributing an original dimension to the significant body of published scholarship on women in 16th-century England, this study examines the largest corpus of women’s private writings available to historians: their wills. In these, female voices speak out, commenting on their daily lives, on identity, gender, status, familial relationships and social engagement. Wills show women to have been active participants in a civil society, well aware of their personal authority and potential influence, whose committed actions during life and charitable strategies after death could and did impact the health of that society. From an intensive analysis of more than 1200 wills, this pioneering work focuses on women from all parts of the country and all strata of society, revealing an entire population of articulate, opportunistic, and capable individuals who found the spaces between the lines of the law and used those spaces to achieve personal goals. Author Susan James demonstrates how wills describe strategies for end-of-life care, create platforms of remembrance, and offer insights into the myriad occupational endeavors in which women were engaged. James illuminates how these documents were not simply instruments of bequest and inheritance, but were statements of power and control, catalogues of material culture from which we are able to gauge a woman’s understanding of her own reality and the context that formed her environment. Wills were tools and the way in which women wielded these tools offers new ways to look at England in the 16th century and reveals the seminal role women played in its development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Wills in the Great Orphan Book and Book of Wills: In the Council House at Bristol The recognizances, it appears, were made to the Chamberlain, in the presence of the Mayor, by those persons to whom the property of a testator's orphans was committed, and by the parties bound for such persons, in order to ensure the preservation of the property, and the education and maintenance of the children. Repeated mention of this jurisdiction occurs in the Great Orphan Book. Reference is made to it in the earliest dated will, that of John Dodyng, No. 18. A note is inserted after the record of proof, at the Guildhall, of the will of Walter Frompton, burgess of Bristol, who made his will in 1423, having then an only son: "Et co'misim' admi'straco'em lib'or' ten'tor' infra dict' test'm content' qua'tu' ad officiu' n'rm p'tinet executrici infrascripte in forma iuris iurate salua & res'uata nob' Succ' n'ris potestate quacu'qz t'ras & ten'ta Orphani infrascripti p' inf'scriptu' nup' p'rem suu' du' vixit eid'm Orphano p' p'sens test'm legata sufficient' p'sonis quibz nobis fore videbit' co'mittend' & eid'm Orphano inde modo debito sc'd'm tenore' & eff'cm eiusd'm testame'ti respondend' iux' tenorem Carte d'ni Reg's in auxiliu' & fauore' Orphanor' ville p'dce burgensibz eiusd'm ville concesse Jn cui' rei testi'o'm sigillu' Officij Maiorat' ville Bristoll' p'sentibz est appensum." The will of John Suche, merchant of Bristol, made March 21st, 1565, after mentioning his children, who were minors, and the property therein bequeathed to them, contains the clause - "J do hartely pray mr. Mayor and his brethren the aldremen that the same legases may be assured to the said children Accordinge to the Laudable and godlye ordere of the Charter of orfants graunted to this cytie." The system, however, did not meet with universal approbation. Robert Taylor, merchant, whose will is dated August 24th, 1594, desired that the legacies of his two young daughters should be paid and delivered in ready money unto "Credible men in the Citty of Bristoll" for the maintenance of the children.
