Note (Additional information about the record)
- PROB 33/2 consists of five separate indexes bound together. The first four indexes in the volume cover more than one year, but a new section within each index was begun for each year. Thus in the first index under each letter the entries for 1722 are given first, and then the entries for 1723. See PROB 22: When this document was brought into the registry it was assigned a number and entered in the original indexes to exhibit. These original exhibits now comprise PROB 33/2-36.
