Wills and Administrations

Wills can prove an excellent source of material for the genealogist and, as well as the relative recently deceased, can usually be relied on to provide information also about many other relatives, whether beneficiaries or not.

Not all people made a will; it was not always necessary since most people had nothing worth leaving to others anyway.

Therefore, unless your ancestors were engaged in trade or the professions there might be no information here of use to you.
