A 1904 volume of Montgomeryshire Collections lists a number of wills from the 1630s and 1640s from Carno and Llanwnnog. It gives no source. One of the wills I have tracked down as a PCC will. A few others show up on the National Library of Wales website as having been proved at Bangor. But a few wills, including the one I am particularly interested in (Lewis Evans of Plasse Duon, Llanwnog, 1636) does not seem to turn up no matter spelling variations I try. Is there somewhere else a will from Llanwnog might have been proved in the 1630s? Roderick Ward

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately, I have already been making use of the National Library of Wales site and the National Archives site, without success. I have searched by names only, places only, even occupations, within a fairly wide range of dates, using wildcards to try to capture every conceivable spelling variation. I have come to the conclusion that the will likely does not exist in either index. Its existence, however, was mentioned in a 1904 article. So, if it was in fact not proved at either the PCC or in one of the ecclesiastical courts in the NLW index, is there anywhere else it could be? Are there wills that have been lost since 1904? Are there known gaps in the online indexes? Roderick
