Wills of Henham Residents (part 1)

Although most of the following records appear on the SEAX pages elsewhere on this website, I think it will help family-history researchers to have this separate distinct listing.

Due to its size, I’ve had to split this file into two parts - hence Wills of Henham Residents (part 1) and Wills of Henham Residents (part 2).

The table below is a random-generated listing of all the Wills held in the public records at Essex County Council archives at Chelmsford and consequently they are recorded on the SEAX computer database.

SEAX records can be searched on the internet

However, as in the table, you will only get brief details. To view the content of the Will, you will need to visit the archives or order a copy of the document online. As time permits I hope to view the contents of the Wills and record into the table, the important details such and the name or location of any house, and of any people mentioned.
