Index of Callington Wills

Callington Wills

All PCC Wills held by the Public Record Office are available on Documents Online, and cover the period from 1384 to 1858. The Prerogative Court of Canterbury, the most important of these courts, dealt with the relatively wealthy individuals or persons with property in more than one county who lived mainly in the south of England and most of Wales (what was originally the ecclesiastical province of Canterbury). An index of all these wills can be searched and copies can be downloaded for a fee. Fifty wills of Callington residents are available dating from 1466.

Wills of the less wealthy were proven at the Consistory Court of Exeter or Cornwall. These will are held at the County Record Offices in Truro or Exeter, although unfortunately a lot of the Devon wills were lost during the last World War. Calendars [or indexes] of these wills were compiled in the early 20th century.

These indexes cover:
Exeter 1532-1800
Cornwall 1569-1799
You'll notice the period 1800-1857 is not covered.

An index of wills proven after 1857 are held local PROBate Offices and other locations.

The following index of wills only covers those from the above mentioned calendar of wills and the wills at the PRO

Wills indicated as being in Cornwall can be ordered from the Cornwall Record Office
