During the second world war there was extensive bombing on Exeter with the result many wills were lost. Prior to this thankfully, a Miss Moger transcribed some of the Yeo wills and I have copies of those extracts. I have also sent for all the Yeo wills registered in the PRO in London and the Cornwall Record Office. Sometimes wills were stored with family papers and where I have found these I have obtained copies. With the help of many people worldwide we have transcribed these wills and below is a PDF file of over 300 wills and Inquisitions. The file is fully indexed with the names of many other early West Country families.
