Court of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem in the Manors of
Crossley, Bingley, Cottingley and Pudsey

Index to original wills, bonds, inventories, 1585-1804

Source: Family History Library Film # 1835652 item 1
Note: this is a typed index. It completely Alphabetic and each surname has the surname typed above the group of entries which bear that surname. The surname is not included in each entry. The indexer has modernized dates. Confused about English dates prior to 1752? Here's a Tutorial.

Disclaimers: I attempted to extract every instance of each surname in the indexes. I do not have any additional information at all on any entry or on any person mentioned in any entry. My [comments & clarifications] are added in brackets. If I have seen the probate record I include a [thumbnail in brackets] but please note that I haven't necessarily noted EVERY name mentioned in the will. I haven't taken the time to include the film number where I found that record either. Yes, I'm lazy.

I searched the entire index for: Bradley, Edgehill, Gill, Harrison, Herrington, Maud, Meggitt, Metcalf, Nelson, Pearson, Shaw, Thornton, Turner, Waslin
