    1. PCC will numbering
    2. Richard Smith via
    3. Can anyone explain what the last number in a reference like PROB 11/308/246 actually means? I know that "PROB 11" denotes PCC will registers, and 308 is the piece number, in this case the volume containing quires 53-107 of register "Laud" (1662). I had assumed 246 was a quire number, a page number, or the entry number, but I don't think it can be. Starting at the first page of volume PROB 11/308, the first ten wills are: Richard Norton [PROB 11/308/6] Elizabeth Nevill [PROB 11/308/50] John Ormesby [PROB 11/308/12] John Oxlard [PROB 11/308/22] John Orisby [PROB 11/308/3] John Olive [PROB 11/308/41] Dorothy Old [PROB 11/308/15] Hugh Potter [PROB 11/308/43] Anne Porter [PROB 11/308/4] Mary Palmer [PROB 11/308/31] I can see no logic in the the numbering at all! Richard
