London Signatures currently includes 10,000 Archdeaconry Court of Middlesex Wills (AM/PW), covering the period 1609 -1810, and 23,500 Diocese of Winchester, Commissary for the Archdeaconry of Surrey marriage bonds (DW/MP), for the period 1673 - 1850.
Enter the name of the person whose will or marriage bond you require and a year range if known. Leave the 'Exact match' box unchecked and the database will do a broader search. This "non-exact match" will find all records containing the letters entered in the field, e.g. "thom" will find "Thompson","Thomson", and "Thomas" - "ian" will find both "Ian" and "Diane".
Please note that the London Signatures application will be taken offline in late 2010 when the data will be migrated to the LMA databases on Ancestry.co.uk. Further information on our partnership with Ancestry.co.uk see our digitisation page.
