Search Wills
  • The wildcard (%) is applied by default to the right hand side of some search terms. To obtain more results, keep your search terms to a minimum e.g. to find all variations for Stephen, search for 'St' in the forename field.
  • Parish names should be entered as in other searches e.g. 'Juliot, St.' rather than 'St Juliot' but  'Jul' would be sufficient
  • Full transcripts can be found linking from the relevant parish pages, see http://www.opc-cornwall.org/Par_new/parishes.php, UNLESS a CRO Ref: No. Is given in the Notes Column. In the latter case, copies can be ordered from the Cornwall Record Office.
  • Before 1752 the year began in March, so there might be a few instances where the date of proving appears to be before the date the Will was written.

 Search for exact surname (no wildcard)  ?
Search for exact surname: By default the search facility adds a wildcard (%) to the end of the surname to return more results. If you want to search for an exact surname, tick this box and the wildcard search will be disabled.
 Include similar surnames  ?
Include Similar Surnames: Ticking this option will search for any surnames that have a similar sounding name to your search, based on the Soundex algorithm. This only works if the surname you've entered is more than 2 characters. It may also slow down your search.
