40.663 documenti
Questa raccolta contiene indici di testamenti di pertinenza della Prerogative Court fino al 1810. La quasi totalità di tali testamenti andò distrutta nell'esplosione del Public Record Office di Dublin avvenuta nel 1922, per cui questa pubblicazione costituisce spesso l'unica evidenza documentale che si è preservata dei testamenti che furono trattati da questa corte. Le informazioni riportate da questi documenti possono comprendere: nome, data della validazione e un'immagine della pagina.
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.
