Information from the Hereford Diocese Probate Act Books 1700-1858 and Hereford Deanery Probate Act Books 1660-1858. These books contain a summary record of each probate grant and, where the original documents do not now exist, the Act Books are the only surviving reference. The basis for this list was a transcription from microfilms at the Herefordshire Archives and Records Office (ref. 133 to 139) prepared by Jean Dobson of Hereford, see http://www.jeandobson.co.uk/. Many thanks to her for permission to use this.
