Excerpt from An Index to the Wills and Inventories Now Preserved in the Probate Registry, at Chester, From A. D. 1791 to 1800: With an Appendix Containing the List of the "Infra" Wills (or Those in Which the Personality Was Under £40), Between the Same Years The present Volume completes the Indexes to the Wills, Inventories, and Administration Bonds now preserved in the District Probate Registry at Chester, from the earliest date, viz. - 1545 to the year 1800. This is the latest date to which the President of the Probate Division of His Majesty's High Court of Justice has permitted the Indexes to be copied, and is no doubt sufficiently late for the historical and genealogical purposes of Members of the Society. In bringing this series to a conclusion, the Council desire to point out that the Members are now in possession of the only complete series of the kind that has been published by any Archaeological Society. In these Indexes upwards of names of Lancashire and Cheshire men occur, spread over the period between the years 1545 and 1800, which thus constitute an invaluable aid to the student of local and family history as well as to anyone engaged upon researches relating to the origin and meaning of family and place names.
