Wyke/Normandy Wills of Surrey Downloaded from www.normandyhistorians.co.uk Normandy Historians Wyke/Normandy Wills of Surrey (With references to Ash, Aldershot and Worplesdon) MSS 280 There exists at The Surrey History Centre, Woking, Surrey a series of hard-back notebooks pertaining to "Old Wills of Surrey" containing précised notes compiled by Cliff Webb from original wills held at The London Metropolitan Archives. In 2009, Christopher J H Pettitt of Wyke, Normandy, Surrey and member of Normandy Historians, copied extracts (in manuscript), from those notebooks that were relevant to families, who at one time were either resident in Wyke or thereabouts or had an interest in property within the then parish of Wyke. (c.1520 - 1820), which together with similar extracts from microfiche records held personally by Christopher, are held by Normandy Historians. Stephen Cranstone of Aldershot (a member of Normandy Historians), transcribed and digitalised Christopher's manuscript notes presented here, but the reader should be reminded that although care has been taken in the transfer of data, viewing of the original wills at The London Metropolitan Archives is recommended.
