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.

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.

Henrie YOUNGER, yeoman, of the Hole Rawe, chapelrie of Shotley in the countie of Northumberland [Shotley, Northumberland]. Died February 1598
Younger's wife Agnes had formerly been married to John Byerley and Roger Hopper, and latterly married George Atthie. The inventory refers to monies in the hands of George Atthie, the 'late' father-in-law of Robert Younger alias Hopper the
illegitimate son of the deceased. Robert Younger is the only legatee named in the will, and which will is witnessed by his wife Agnes Younger among others: as the depositions (DDR/EJ/CCA/1/7 ff.296-298) make clear, Robert Younger's claim to any
property was endangered both by his illegitmacy and by the existence of a younger legitimate brother 'sick in a cradle' and at the time of making the will thought likely to die; no further reference to this younger brother has been found. Henry
Younger died about a week after making his will. His widow had married George Atthie (by July 1602) and then predeceased him (before 9 June 1604; hence the description of Atthie as 'late' father-in-law), and promises alleged to have been made by
Atthie prior to this marriage are also described in the depositions of the witnesses to Henry Younger's will. See Probate Act Books: (1) DPRI/4/9 f.174: administration of the goods not yet administered of Robert Younger of Wolsingham [?father of
Henry Younger] granted to Agnes Atthie, wife of George Atthie, for the use of Frances Younger, daughter of Henry Younger the son of Robert Younger; and inventory (£18) exhibited, 10 July 1602; (2) f.239v: blank entry with marginal heading relating
to the curation of Frances Younger [daughter] and Robert Younger / Hopper, 26 Nov 1603; (3) f.262: Robert Younger, aged 14, elects as curators Hugo Hopper and John Richardson, with the consent of [his cousin] John Hopper, and the curators are
monished to exhibit an inventory, 21 Apr 1604; (4) ff.264, 265, 267, 270v-271: in an office cause (May-June 1604) promoted against George Atthie by Hugo Hopper and John Richardson, Atthie is declared contumacious and the will is proved and
administration of the goods not administered during the lifetime of Agnes Atthie is granted to Hopper and Richardson for the use of Robert Younger / Hopper, illegitimate son; an inventory already having been exhibited, 9 June 1604; [an inventory of
Henry Younger (£118 0s 8d) is referred to in Atthie's 1607 account]; (5) f.394: Frances Younger, aged 13, elects her cousin John Hopper of Muggleswick and George Atthie as her curators, and the curators are monished to exhibit an inventory, 18 July

inventory, actual total £53
Inventory of goods etc. not yet administered and dew to Robert Younger alias Hopper, illegitimate son. [The will relates that Robert Younger was born before the marriage but after the marriage contract of the deceased and his wife Agnes, and the
inventory reflects his father's doubts that his copyhold property could be devised to him, but that his leasehold might be safely bequeathed. This inventory is of Robert Younger's portion, rather than of Henry Younger's entire personal estate. The
account records Henry Younger's estate was inventoried (£118 0s 8d), but which inventory has not been found.]

Henry YONGER, of Hole Rawe within the chapelry of Shotley [Shotley, Northumberland]; also spelt Younger
The accountant George Atthie was the fourth husband of Agnes, who had formerly been the wife and executrix of John Byerley and then of Roger Hopper, and then the wife and administratrix of Henry Yonger, before marrying Atthie. Atthie had bound
himself to distribute the portions and legacies of the children from each of the marriages of his wife, and for which he here makes his account. The account mentions inventories of Roger Hopper and of Henry Younger (£118 0s 8d), but which have not
been found. Probate Act Book entries indicate that Agnes Atthie had died before 9 June 1604. The accountant mentions the following of her surviving children: Agnes Coteswoorth nee Byerley, Cuthbert Hopper, Margaret Hopper, Humphrey Hopper (tutor
Robert Smith of Benfieldside). These estates became the subject of protracted disputes in the court: for the references to various Probate Act Book entries, see DPRI/1/1604/Y1: the account was exhibited on 3 July 1607, and appears to have been
finally admitted on 28 November of the same year. For the will of a John Byerlaw of Shotley, and for the nuncupative will of Henry Younger and the inventory of his illegitimate son Robert's portion of his goods, see - DPRI/1/1582/B13/1 -
