Thank you for the reply. The will was referenced in an old article. I would like to see it for myself, but cannot find it. I will perhaps end up quoting the article and referring people to it. Think I will get in touch with TNA and ask them. Thanks Helenor Jones

If it's late 19th / early 20th century, the usual way of referencing a PCC will from 1540 would be "PCC 18 Alenger" where Alenger is the name given to the piece covering wills 1540-41, and 18 is the quire number. If the citation is not written like that, it's possible it's referring to a different collection of wills. Maybe someone here knows whether any other wills were kept at Somerset House. Is 1540 definitely a date? Or could it be a reference number that's not based on the date? If it's definitely a year, is it the year the will was written, or the year it was proved? Richard
