Ancestors of Cley

A transcription of the 1707 will of Robert Jeary, bricklayer, of Stiffkey. We were hoping this would name William Jary (ca 1702-1788), but it does not contain his name.

It does contain several other names that have provided possible lines of research, but so far we have been unable to link him to our line. This is posted here in hopes it may assist other researchers.

The original document is held at the Norfolk Record Office; reference NRO: ANW, will register 1707-1708, fo.51

Names mentioned:

Robert Jeary
Anne Jeary
Elizabeth Jeary
John Jeary
Margaret Jeary
Maria Jeary
Witnesses:
Absalom Billet
William Loads
Fran Barker
