Hidden in these pages are the last words, wishes and ties of generations from Devon and Cornwall. Every name leads you home. Compiled by Edw. Alexander Fry from the Exeter probate registry records, Calendars Of Wills And Administrations is a genealogical source records index covering devon and cornwall wills and administrations, 1559-1799, and Devon from 1540-1799, proved before the Bishop and Archdeacon of Exeter. As a devon wills calendar index drawn from English inheritance records, 16th-18th centuries, it opens a path to testators, heirs, occupations and places that illuminate everyday life in Tudor and Georgian England. Rich in surnames, place-names and cross-references, this historical probate records collection is designed for family history researchers tracing lines long before civil registration. For 1559-1799 devon cornwall enquiries it complements parish registers and the prerogative court of canterbury wills, and, when used alongside a devon parish registers index, helps pinpoint kinship networks, property descent and migration patterns. Local historians genealogists, social researchers and readers curious about regional society all find here a structured gateway into the intimate texture of the West Country past. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Equally at home on the desk of an active researcher and on the shelves of classic-records connoisseurs, it stands as a cultural record of how lives, loyalties and legacies were ordered in this distinctive corner of England.
