David, If you search Gloucestershire Archives Database (ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/genealogy/Search.aspx), you will find many wills for CLISSOLD in Stroud including that of your Stephen plus his inventory. You can download an order form from Gloucestershire Archives website (www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=17203) and order copies of wills/inventories by post. The cost is very reasonable L2 per will plus postage. I have used this service many times before and it has proved invaluable to me in my research. Another place to try is The National Archives Documents Online site (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/). If you find a will you are interested in, it can be downloaded immediately for the sum of L3.50 per will. The date given on the will is normally when it was probated. Good luck Janet > I am new to the list and am currently researching the Clissold families of > Gloucestershire and the Slade families of Gloucestershire. > > > STEPHEN & MARY CLISSOLD+
