Hi, Anyone willing to do look ups for any Gilpins or Dares. Not particular as to whome as the Gilpins are part of a GOONs one name study. The Dares anything between 1500 - 1600, for a Historical study. Thank you Best Regards Nelda Percival gilpin@one-name.org My websites : http://freepages.folklore.rootsweb.com/~bonsteinandgilpin/

As previously stated, from 1858 wills are held centrally. Prior to that will's were usually proved and held at the diocese that covered the area where the deceased lived. Bits of "Banburyshire" could come under Worcester (now the Worcester Records Office), Oxford, (Oxford Records office) or Lichfield. I'm not aware of any records office having an online index but the ones I have contacted are very prompt at responding to queries. Wills which referred to property in more than one diocese could get proved at the archbishopric level of Canterbury or York. Canterbury (PCC) wills are held at the National archives and can be searched online. Oxford family history society have a project to make oxfordshire-related Wills available on line. http://wills.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/ There is one GILPIN - James, recorded as a witness in 1761. There are no DAREs Ancestry.com have a reasonable set of probate indices for some counties but not all, and not all entries are recorded for the counties that they do have.
