The following probate courts had some jurisdiction over the county of Northamptonshire prior to 1858:
Most of Northamptonshire was under the pre-1858 probate jurisdiction of either the [[Court of the Bishop of Worcester (Episcopal Consistory)|Court of the Bishop of Peterborough (Episcopal Consistory)]] or the [[Court of the Bishop of Hereford (Episcopal Consistory)|Court of the Archdeaconry of Northampton]].  The majority of probate searches will be in the records of these two courts and their superior courts.  However, the following smaller courts also had some pre-1858 jurisdiction within the county.
