CORONERS’ LAW RESOURCE CORONERS' RECORDS
----------------------------------
New Zealand Index records are available for free, on line searching at http://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.identityservices.govt.nz/home/
The search is simple to use and effective. It allows One-Name searching on a surname for the whole of the available time period which begins 01 Jan 1840.
In contrast with UK records the New Zealand Index Records give additonal
information:
Birth shows names of both parents.
Death has either Age or Death Date.
Marriages show names of bride and groom.
The Devon Wills Project aims to provide a consolidated index of Devon wills, administrations, and inventories. Its goal is to compensate, as far as possible, for the disastrous loss of Devon wills in World War II. The index will include original documents, probate copies, transcripts, and abstracts. Nearly 25,000 of these are already indexed at the project's website, which is well worth a search if your one-name study has a presence in Devon.
