Contents of this page: [George WINDEATT] [Richard WINGETT] [Walter WINDEATT]
These three names from a list of Death Duty registers proved in the Court of Exeter. were found on the PRO site. The information is minimal but it does provide evidence of family relationships and also the fact that these individuals had some property worth leaving despite dying intestate.

MY NOTES:
N.B. The PRO index lists this record as Walter WINDEATH but the original
definitely has two ts at the end. However it might be spelled WINDIATT -
it is not clear from the photocopy which is covered in stray dots.
