The 1858 - 1928 lists on these pages have been compiled largely from
information researched by Michael Spencer of Matlock and originally
circulated to the Derbysgen Discussion Group. His work is reproduced
with kind permission. Michael may also be able to help you with copies
of wills between these dates if you contact him. Please tell him where
you found the information. If you aren't subscribed to Derbysgen you
will need to ask him to contact you directly rather than through the
discussion group.

My grateful thanks to John for getting me started with the first 117
names and to Kathryn Morano for forwarding the remainder.
