WILLS, TESTAMENTS, INVENTORIES, PROBATES, ADMINISTRATIONS, LEASES, REMOVAL ORDERS, FEOFFMENTS...
This section is periodically updated. At the moment most of the entries below pertaining to Wills, Admons and Inventories are index references rather than transcriptions and are ordered according to place and date. I am primarily interested in Wills/Testaments etc for the parishes of Tetford, Brinkhill, Langton-by-Horncastle, Salmonby and surrounding areas.

| 10 Sep 1824 | Rev. John WAYET | Bilsby | Obituary | ...In his 37th year, the Rev. John Wayet, of Billesby, Lincolnshire. On this preceding Wednesday, he had been administering the Sacrament to a parishioner, then dangerously ill of the cholera morbus, and on his return to the vicarage, that evening, he was attacked by the same complaint. A venerable mother is left to deplore the loss of an attached and only child. He was, we believe, presented to the Vicarage, of Pinchbeck, co. Lincoln, in 1821, by Thomas Wayet, Esq.
