Thank you all for your insights and help.I have not always had so much trouble finding wills...but this one was a challenge for some reason.Worked for 2 days trying to search on Ancestry and TNA!  Very frustrating.Thank you all for taking the time.No matter how long I have been doing this "genealogy" thing, I learn something every single day. Have warm, safe, peaceful and happy holidays. Donna The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.

PS - The difficulty with transcription of 17th century manuscript is that the letter "c" looks like the letter "r" as we know it, and also sometimes you have to look really carefully to distinguish "o" from "e"...

Hello Donna, My experience is always to check it out on TNA's website... Reference:    PROB 11/230/50 Description:    Will of Thomas Tycoe, Clerk of Ringmer, Sussex Date:     02 May 1653 Held by:     The National Archives, Kew Then, On Ancestry, check out the place = Ringmer and the date of probate and they’ll give you "Thomas Tyree…" It often proves difficult to actually look for names on Ancestry...
