PROBATE
RECORDS & WILLS
Wills before 1875 were proved in
Commissariot Courts.
The areas covered by Commissariot Courts pre 1800
in Scotland relate to Church jurisdiction and not county borders so
more than one Court can cover a County.
The Commissariot Court of Edinburgh had
jurisdiction for the whole of Scotland and abroad and should also be
checked.
These
Testaments are for personal property only.
The Library has a complete set of Indexes for pre
1800 Commissariot Court Wills. |
The Commissariot of Peebles
covers the county of Selkirk.
|
fiche T40 |
Land was covered by separate
laws and is covered by the records detailed
in:
The Retours of Services of Heirs index 1544 - 1699
The Service of Heirs Index 1700 - 1859
The two CD’s are indispensable to the genealogist as they record from 1544 to1859 an authentic history of inheritance
of the greater part of the landed property in Scotland and the descent of most of the leading families.
