Brentford PCC Wills 1800 to 1858

In the 1800 to 1858 period over 340 Brentford people left wills which were proved by the PCC (Prerogative Court of Canterbury).

Whilst many of these testators were described as 'gentlemen', there were also bricklayers, painters, a sail maker, cordwainer, servant and labourer.

This court may have been used where the person had property in Surrey as well as Middlesex - Surrey was just across the River Thames.

It is possible to obtain copies of the wills through The National Archives (TNA) DocumentsOnLine web site. I have prepared details for just 1800 - 1858 but it is possible to search the TNA web site for PCC wills in earlier centuries too.
