Excerpt from Calendars of Wills and Administrations Relating to the County of Dorset, Vol. 2: Taunton Wills and Administrations, Parts III. And IV

HE present Volume is an attempt to bring together as far as possible and make available for reference lists of the known existing testamentary records relating to Dorset which were not incorporated in Volume XXII of this series. The Dorset Wills in the Principal Court of Canterbury are, of course, not included here, as they appear in the printed indices of that Court. Dorset Wills are to be found at the Record Office among the Admiralty Records, at the Rochester Probate Court for seamen dying at Chatham, and it is presumed there are similar Wills at Winchester and Exeter in connection with the naval stations at Portsmouth and Devonport. It has not been convenient to obtain lists of these Wills for insertion in this Volume, but in making an exhaustive search for Dorset men these sources should not be overlooked. As an instance of the way in which Wills of Dorset folk are to be found in unexpected places it may be mentioned that Calendar (vol. 52, recently completed in this series) of Administrations at Lincoln contains a reference to an Administration granted at that Court in 1622 to the estate of David Banister, of Corfe Castle, and while the present Calendar has been going through the press some registers, including probate and administration acts, have been discovered at Wimborne Minster of dates earlier than those recorded in Volume XXII. A list of these Acts cannot be procured in time for inclusion in this Volume, but it is hoped they may appear in print at some future time.
