Peter Brown Family History

Wills of Other, (not Brown), Family Group Names (s-z)

Border

A number 'Wills' of Family Group Names have been identified. These have been cross referenced to/from Family Group pages in this site (but in a few cases the link has yet to be established).

The 'Wills' are of five types. a) Transcripts, b) Abstracts, c) Copies from Microfilm, d) Seen 'Will' microfilm and extracted base information, e) 'Will' listed in an index and not seen or is unreadable.

A lot of 'Wills' do NOT have a transcript but over time hopefully this situation will be improved. NOTE: If anyone reading this page has a Transcript or a good copy of any of the 'Wills' mentioned then I would be very thankful for a copy.

Where a link is shown under Copy/Transcript, then either a Transcription (or Abstract) of the Will is provided if available or a photocopy from the microfilm. Where a link is shown under Fam Grp Ref then this will access the appropriate Family Group details.

These are in surname/forename/date order. For shortcut click on appropriate name (if surname not shown then no Will details are held). buttons can be used to navigate to next or previous page.
