Vicar's, Prerogative Testamenten uit Ireland, 1536 - 1810
40.663 gegevens
De collectie bevat indexen van rechterlijke testamenten tot 1810. Bijna al deze testamenten werden verwoest in de explosie op het Public Record Office in Dublin in 1922, daarom is dit werk vaak het enige overblijvende bewijs van welke testamenten door dit hof werden verwerkt. De informatie die in deze records is opgenomen bevat mogelijk: naam, datum van de successie en een afbeelding van de pagina.<br><br>Prior to 1858 all wills and administrations were dealt with by the established church authorities, namely the Church of Ireland, irrespective of whether the deceased was of that religion or not. Most wills were proved/probated, and administrations granted in the appropriate local Diocese. However, if the deceased had assets of greater than £5 in more than one diocese, the case was sent to Dublin to be dealt with by the Archbishop's Prerogative Court. In 1858 the entire administration of testamentary matters was brought under the jurisdiction of the state, and removed from church control. The 30 Diocesan Consistorial courts and the Prerogative Court were abolished and replaced by 13 Probate Registries and a Central Registry.
