Hi folks In March 2006 I sent these details to Jim: > I did notice that a message appeared on the Kingsclere > list some time ago concerning the availability of wills > online from the National Archives and amongst those listed > for Kingsclere was one for James BATE [without a final > 'S'] See this page: > http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=564178&queryType=1&resultcount=1 > > If you've not already seen it, it might be worthwhile to > see if you can download a copy priced at only £3.50 > Sterling. I feel pursuit of that 2-page Will is essential for continuity in the BATE[S] research. If my line of descent involved them I would not hesitate in purchasing a copy. Dorothy J.
