Julie, thanks for that.

Unfortunately I know that I won't ever see these wills (unless someone transcribed them yonks ago) because they are all listed as "not surviving" on the Origins database.

I'm very grateful that my Quintrells moved from Gerrans to St. Blazey, as the St. Blazey wills stayed in Cornwall and have survived.

It is strange I have never looked for wills in Cornwall... which I really should. I have more Cornish blood than any other and I am sure Robert Symons should have left one ... Off to Bris tomorrow for my annual echo and so it will have to wait for another day. Cheers. Julie

Origins.net are hosting the National Wills Project.

I found this, which might help people looking for wills:

The maps are an aid to finding which court proved which wills.

Origins also has a good search facility for wills, which I use a lot.
