   PCC wills through Ancestry

   (This is not of high importance to me - it's not "my" family, and I   
   can work without it.)   
      
   I have been accessing some PCC wills (1650-1850) fron the Isle of   
   Wight in order to structure a family that is not "mine", in the hopes   
   of avoiding confusion with same-surnamed people that are "mine".   
      
   I am doing this through library access to ancestry.com   
      
   I have battled through various mis-transcriptions (my favourite is   
   Isle of Night) but have failed to identify in ancestry   
      
   "John Rogers, Carrier of Newport Isle of Wight, Hampshire   
   Date: 	09 August 1653   
   Reference: 	PROB 11/227/440"   
      
   I've tried only entering Forename or Surname, wiith or wiithout   
   probate date/year, but either get results that dont include the one I   
   want or have tens of thoiusands of results.   
      
    If any one has a ancestry subscription and time to play with it, and   
   gets a positive result, I would appreciate knowning what combination   
   of data works - then I can get the will myself.
