Wills
Although many Somerset wills were destroyed at Exeter in WW2, the surviving wills make a fantastic source of information for family history. There are also some surviving inventories of the deceased property. Below is a summary of wills/inventories we are aware of. Please let us know if you can contribute any further details of additional wills or brief details of legatees, executors and witnesses of the wills already listed.
Most surviving pre 1858 wills are held by the Somerset Heritage Centre at Taunton (SHC), but others were proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) and are now held at the National Archives at Kew and are also available online. (As at November 2006 there were 159 Wills from South Petherton, including the surnames Anstice, Baker, Colberd, Edmonds, England, Fort, Gawler, Gundry, Hillard, Latty, Lavor, Ostler, Palmer, Prowse, Sampson, Sandys, Stuckey, Thorne, Vile and Westcott)
Some inventories are also held at Kew (TNA). Some wills have been transcribed and published by the Somerset Record Society.
