== Court Jurisdictions by Parish == | |||
Before 1858, every town and parish in Yorkshire fell under the probate jurisdiction of a primary court and several secondary courts. For an authoritative treatise on each Yorkshire probate court and the parishes comprising them in pre-1858, see Anthony J. Camp's publication, ''Wills and Their Whereabouts,'' also available at the Family History Library, FHL book [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=413992&disp=Wills+and+their+whereabouts%20%20&columns=*,0,0 #942 S2wa]. | |||
When looking for the will of an ancester, you should search the courts in the order given. Search indexes first. For indexes, click on the court name links [soon to be constructed]. | |||
