More Gloucestershire wills and inventories now available on Ancestry

The images of a further 1000 wills and inventories are now available to view on Gloucestershire’s Ancestry sub site. These are largely the images of wills and inventories from three of the County’s ecclesiastical peculiars. These peculiars were based around manors which belonged to the Bishop of Worcester, and as such they did not join the Diocese of Gloucester until 1847. Until this time the rector of each peculiar retained the right to prove wills and grant probate administrations and marriage licences.
