== Some notes on Bedfordshire Probate Courts == | |||
== Court Jurisdictions == | |||
Before 1858, every town and parish in Bedfordshire was under the probate jurisdiction of a primary court and several secondary courts. The court that had primary jurisdiction of most of Bedfordshire, with a few exceptions, was the Court of the Archdeaconry of Bedford. Here is a list of Bedfordshire parishes that were the exceptions, and the pre-1858 courts that had probate jurisdiction over them. | |||
