I've never learned what those Quire numbers are about. Found the entry by entering the probate date on Ancestry and when it didn't come up I tried changing the year to 1740. Didn't read that Phoenix mentioned TNA had used the new style date until afterwards!

You have your large piece of vellum (or whatever) and you fold it in half 3 times. One quire, of 16 modern pages.
Helpfully, the top right hand side is numbered as well. This does not happen in the older will registers. And don't get me started on recto and verso. I have several completely useless and very expensive photocopies because I got it wrong!
