The Archdeaconry Court of London was one of the London church courts that dealt with testamentary matters as well as other concerns.

The index to wills for which probate was granted in the Archdeaconry Court includes over 5,000 records, mainly from the first half of the 18th century.

The index records usually contain the last name and first name of the testator, place of residence, occupation and date of probate; the latter date will, of course, establish the latest possible year of death of the person named.

There are also numerous records of mariners, many of whom were ascribed as having residences in London parishes. Anyone with an English mariner ancestor who could have died overseas should search this index.
