Probate inventories are an extremely useful resource for the family historian as they list the possessions of an ancestor at the time of his/her death. This makes it possible to gain a far greater insight into their lives than might otherwise have been possible.This index to the surving probate inventories for West Sussex was originally compiled by Timothy J McCann of the West Sussex Record Office.
