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.
