Location of Original Documents
The majority of the transcripts presented here will be from originals held in one of two places, as indicated in the heading of the transcript: ORO - designates Oxfordshire Record Office where you will find wills proved locally, when the deceased's property was all within the diocese. TNA - designates The National Archives where you will find wills proved at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, when the deceased's property was in more than one diocese. Copies of wills held in The National Archives, may now be purchased directly on-line, from Documents Online. For the small number of transcripts from originals located elsewhere, refer to the details given in the heading, using the GENUKI web site mentioned above, or your favourite internet search engine, if the repository is not familiar to you.
