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...

Well, here I am again looking for a will. Thomas TYRO/E. 1653 - 1656. (born/bapt abt 1600). I have looked on Ancestry.com and found the following information.Date: 1653. Place: General, England.Book: Calendar of Wills in the PCC, 1653-1656 (Will).Collection: England: Canterbury - Wills Proved in the PCC, 1653-1656.Text: Tyroe (signs Tyro), Thomas , clk, Ringmer, Suss 1653 282 I have gone to TNA and ran into a brick wall trying to locate the will by date and location of Sussex. Seem to see no wills at all in that location at that time? I went to Ancestry and don't find Thomas Tyro/e when I put in his name/variants and the date within 40 years. I am actually trying to see who was the rector and the "religious leanings" in Alfriston in the years of about 1650 - 1660.Can anyone help me?

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"...
