Calendar of wills proved and letters of administration granted in the
Diocese of Gloucester 1801-1858
This collection completes the calendar for Gloucester wills available on Origins.net, ending at 1858, the date on which probate was transferred to (civil) district registries.

The two preceeding volumes covering wills and letters of administration up to 1800 are available in the British Record Society (BRS) Probate Collection: This calendar is arranged by date of probate. It lists name, parish and occupation of the deceased.
Acknowledgements
This calendar was compiled by Gloucestershire Record Office staff with the voluntary assistance of Dr. G.J. Pitt which is gratefully acknowledged.

The editor, Cliff Webb, would like to acknowledge with grateful thanks the work of Mr T. Wilcock who entered the material into a database and produced the draft supplementary indexes, and provided other invaluable advice as to the computerisation of the project.
