The Wiltshire Wills Index was created by Mary Trace and Pat Wilson and donated to the Society of Genealogists. It records the wills, administrations & other probate records proved between 1800 and 1858 in 21 Peculiar Courts predominately in Wiltshire. However, please note that some of these courts are in Dorset as the Diocese of Salisbury extended into neighbouring counties.

The index gives the court in which the will appear as well as the date the will was written. Note these and then return to the courts\' list and choose the relevant court. The search facility will enable you to find the will and the others mentioned in that will as well as the testator. Within each document (if the information was given in the original document) the relationship to the dead person, sometimes their place of residence and occupation are recorded. This project does NOT contain records of bequests.

If you wish to obtain a copy of the will then please contact Wiltshire Records Office with the court, date written and proved and the Wiltshire Record Office reference.

The LDS film number is given for each court.
