|    PCC wills through Ancestry    |
|    26 Jul 18 22:58:01    |
      From: myths@ic24.net              (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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
