Miscellaneous Wills

The wills stored here are mainly Mid-Sussex orientated. At the moment a large number are closely linked to the family of Thomas Marchant, the 18th century Hurstpierpoint diarist. However this predominance will diminish somewhat as we spread out to a larger catchment area of people from Mid-Sussex but not neccesarily related to the Marchant family.

We would be grateful for any will transcripts you can donate to help us expand this collection. Contributions should be in MSWord or RTF format and sent to abbo700@hotmail.com

If possible it would be helpful to have appended genealogical notes.

The wills are arranged in chronological order. Search by pressing CTRL and F.
