Cornish Probate Records (N – Z)
This file contains abstracts of probate records held mainly at the Cornwall County Record Office (CRO). Most of them
relate to my own family or to names I am researching.
The abstracts are transcribed from original records at the Cornwall Record Office, from photocopies of original records
or from records filmed by the LDS. The records marked with an * are copied from extracts printed in 'The Romance of
the Rosewarnes' by Gillian Rosewarne, and I have not had a chance to check the original records.
For those records where the reference is a volume and page number, details are taken from a register copy at the CRO,
rather than from the original will. If you think a will or admon may relate to your family you should consult the original
record, which in most cases will be available at the CRO.
Note: I have made every effort to transcribe the records accurately, but can't guarantee that there are no errors. If
you have any queries feel free to contact me.
