Wiltshire and Swindon Archive Catalogue - Wiltshire Wills

Welcome to the Wiltshire and Swindon Archives, Wiltshire Wills on-line catalogue!

The first stage of our on-line catalogue project provides access to a detailed catalogue of wills, 1540-1858, held in the Wiltshire and Swindon Archives (also known as Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office). The catalogue also contains (for about 25% of the wills) digital images of probate records.

We are grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund and the other organisations who have made the Wiltshire wills project possible.

Not all are available online, but those that are , are well worth saving for our own use.
