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]. | |||

Go back to the Yorkshire Probate Records page
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 #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].
Below is a list of Yorkshire parishes beginning with the letter B and the pre-1858 courts that had probate jurisdiction over them. Due to the large number of parishes beginning with B, some rows contain the names of more than one parish when the court jurisdictions match.
For other parish tables in this county, click on a letter or span of letters.
