A list of Auty wills from the index of the York District Probate Registry, held by the Borthwick Institute for Archives at the University of York
The following is from microfilm at Wakefield Archive,some values are hidden in the fold of the books spine or the edges have been repaired with some kind of tape that reflects the light when copied and makes the values below unreadable such values have been replaced with ?
The actual index runs from 1688, but most values prior to 1730 are unreadable The year 1717/18 appears to start at the letter D for instance, and a section between 1747-1770 was not a good image and unreadable Early years are especially badly damaged in the A section
Therefore there will be missing entries
