This is a new database we have added on the Web site. Many thanks to David Drinkwater for transcribing these records.

The information in this database has been extracted from the annual Will books held at Gloucestershire Archives. These Will books contain handwritten copies [typed from 1923] of wills granted probate at Gloucester between 1858 and 1941. There are approximately 40,000 entries for the whole county from which about 6500 with Forest of Dean connections are listed here. It should be remembered that some of this information is now 4th hand from the original Will and so the potential for errors is greatly increased.
