Chancery Court of the Archbishop of York

= Jurisdiction =

There is some confusion between the Chancery Court and the Consistory Court. Since the Consistory Court of York left no known probate records, it is presumed that any references to it under the subject of probates refer to instead to the Chancery Court. Apparently there are no registered copy wills or survising act books for the Chancery Court of York.
