Original wills, inventories, accounts and associated documents, proved by the registrars to the bishops of Durham. See
main DPR1 catalogue for further details on
these records. As well as wills proved within the registry, this series also includes inventories and some other associated documents for those who died intestate, where administration was granted (although the actual administration bonds are stored
within the separate DPR1/3 series).
See main DPR1 catalogue.
Open for consultation.
Permission to make any published use of material from the collection must be sought in advance from the Sub-Librarian, Special Collections (e-mail PG.Library@durham.ac.uk) and, where appropriate, from the copyright owner. The Library will assist
where possible with identifying copyright owners, but responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material
The entries within this list are arranged in the same order as the original documents, viz documents for every will proved (or administration granted) within a single year are stored together. Within each year, the documents are in name order.
This arrangement is reflected within the reference codes, but note that in a few cases documents were misfiled prior to 2006 and so are lettered or numbered out of sequence.
For pre-1752 wills, note that this is normally an 'old style' year, running from 25th March in the year stated until 24th March of the following year; however, the yearly bundling of wills was not entirely consistent in this respect. Where it can
be established with some confidence (for instance, from the date of an accompanying bond or an endorsement relating to the executors' oaths), the precise date of probate or administration is stated within this list. In other cases, however, you may
need to check a year each side of the actual year of probate, especially for earlier material (see also under Finding aids below).
This list incorporates all the public information from the North East Inheritance database relating to the original wills and inventories etc, but only includes sparse references to the related records within other series of the Durham Probate
Records (chiefly registered copies in DPR1/2 and probate bonds in DPR1/3). The online database at
http://familyrecords.dur.ac.uk/nei/data/ will
generally be found more helpful for research using the probate records, as it lists together records from multiple series relating to the same deceased person, and can be searched by person, place, occupation and document type as well as dates of
probate and of documents. All the data within this catalogue is made available through the online database.
For links to the lists for other parts of the series of original wills (DPRI/1), see the
collection level description, or use these links for the
previous list and
next list.
Several of these wills and inventories have been published, chiefly in volumes of the Surtees Society. Full references, with links to online texts where available, are in the
Useful texts section of the North East Inheritance project pages.

John Dowthwaite, senior, gentleman, of Westholme within the parishe of Winston in the countie of Durham [Winston, County Durham]; also spelt Dowthwait, Dowthwate. Died February 1627

subscribed to item DPRI/1/1626/D3/1 is not found in the Probate Act book (DPRI/4/8). The printed version of Winston parish register records his burial on 8 February 1627.

Peter Forser, recusant, of Kelloe [Kelloe, County Durham]; also spelt Forcer. Died 15 May 1626
Forser is reported to have stated in his nuncupative will that his wife 'and the rest of his neerest kindred' were recusants, and therefore ineligable to act as administrators of his estate in this period. Forser, his father, and also his son,
all feature in the Recusant Rolls: see Surtees Society vol. 175, and Tna E 366/44 [York roll].
DPRI/1/1626/F3/1: 1626 - Nuncupative will Will was made during the sickness of Forser [?in 1626]. Administration granted to Robert Robinson, a creditor, 24 May 1626. Full edition published in Wood, H.M. (ed) "Wills and Inventories from the

Jane Hebsonne, wife of Anthony Hebsonne, widow, of parish of Gaiteside (Gateside) in the countie of Durham [Gateshead, County Durham]; also spelt Hebson
Hebsonne died of the plague, and her inventory also includes the funeral expenses for seven (unnamed) persons and the cleansing of two houses. The commission concerns not only Jane Hebsonne's estate, but also the tuition of four of her
grandchildren, all legatees of her will. It is clear from this commission that between the making of the will (22 October 1625) and the execution of the commission (28 August 1626) Hebsonne's daughter Elizabeth and her husband Robert Nicholson had
both died, and probably another of her daughters, Emote Burnet, as well. Probate records for these persons do not survive in the Durham diocese records series. The granting of the tuition of one of Hebsonne's granchilden to two of her other
grandchildren is unusual, and may indicate that others among her brother John Chambers, her widowed sister Elizabeth Chambers, her widowed sister Margaret Hesbonne and her three children were also among the dead.
DPRI/1/1626/H5/1-2: 22 October 1625 - Nuncupative will
DPRI/1/1626/H5/3: 22 October 1625 - Inventory, actual total £288 5s 11d (with account of debts and funeral expenses of £41 3s 2d) Inventory includes the expenses for cleansing two houses as well as the funeral expenses for seven persons

tuition of Mary Nicholson, daughter of Robert and [the deceased's daughter] Elizabeth Nicholson, granted to Mary and Jane Burnet, [grandchildren by another daughter of the deceased, Emote Burnet], legatees

DPRI/1/1626/H6/1: 29 May 1626 - Will, with codicil, undated It is inferred from the differing witness lists that the codicil was published at a different date: however, the nomination (rather than substitution) of executors in a codicil was of
doubtful legal force. Instead, the probate office appears to have treated it as a part of the will.

Robert Sharpe, of Corbridge [Corbridge, Northumberland]
No reference found in DPRI/4/8 to a grant to Edmund Sharpe on 12 October 1626; but see DPRI/4/8 f.55: administration of the goods of Robert Sharpe of Corbridge granted to George Sharpe, son, who was also bound to distribute his brothers' and
sisters' portions; inventory (£5) also exhibited, 26 September 1626. The testator refers to a son named George Sharpe, and the earlier grant of administration may have been made without knowledge of the existence of a valid will.
