Wills Index - Other Counties
As Rushden and the other villages of the Higham Ferrers Hundred are close to other
county boundaries we have included these wills found at Northamptonshire Record Office.
Northants/Bedfordshire/Huntingdon counties join near to Dean parish just 4 miles from Rushden.
Northants/Bedfordshire/Buckinghamshire join near Bozeat which is also in the Higham Ferrers Hundred.
