WILLS – Transcipts or
Extracts
Wills are a rich source of
information for Family Histories. In this
new section attached to the index of Warry WILLS it is intended to provide
transcripts of Warry wills and other wills that mention Warry’s. Some wills no
longer exist due to bombing in WW11 so the extracts are just the notes taken
from these wills by previous Warry researchers
As this is a new section the
transcripts will be increased over time. If you find a will with Warry
mentioned it would be appreciated if you could advise the
