PARRY Family History
Abstracts of PARRY Wills
The abstracts shown here are taken from the book "Genealogical Abstracts of Parry Wills proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury down to 1810 with administrations for the same period" by Lieut.-Colonel G.S. Parry, published in 1911 by George Sherwood. As far as I am aware, G. S Parry died in 1920 and therefore copyright of the original book has now lapsed. (If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know.) However, copyright exists on the transcriptions posted here. Please respect that. You are welcome to link to this page, but please do not repost the details onto other web-sites.
As far as I am aware, the numbers and names in brackets following many of the abstracts refers to the probate calendar in which the Will can be found.
