Wills, which were proved in the Welsh ecclesiastical courts before the introduction of Civil Probate on 11 January 1858, have been deposited in the National Library of Wales. The old indexes produced by the courts themselves have now been replaced by a new online index.
Free access is now available to digital images of the wills. At the moment no digital images are available for Hawarden, Brecon or St Asaph pre 1660.
The covering dates of the surviving probate records are:
Bangor: 1635 - 1858
Brecon: 1543 - 1858
Chester (Welsh wills): 1557 - 1858
Hawarden: 1554 - 1858
Llandaf: 1568 - 1857
