    Default Hertfordshire Wills Index 1415-1857

    The Origins network have Announced that details of over 27,630 individuals can now be searched for FREE on the National Wills Index on Origins.net.

    The collections online are:

    Archdeaconry of Huntingdon (Hitchin Division):
    Original wills (together with some inventories), 1557-1857 (Ref, HW); will registers, 1557-1843 (Ref, HR); inventories, 1568-1789 (Ref, AHH22 includes some administration bonds); administration bonds and accounts, 1609-1857 (Ref, AHH23).

    Once a record is found a copy of the will can be ordered online for £10.00 and these will then be digitally transferred to your email address as a PDF attachment.

    You will need to register at origins.net/UserHome.aspx (put http://www. in front) but it is free to search.

    Thanks for this, Graham.

    It is just a pity that my lot were still scattered to the four winds at these dates; they did not turn up in St Albans until the early 1900s.
