The relevant entry in the probate act books, dated 17 February 1673, gives the opinion that, as the will relates to property in Ireland, it should be sent to Ireland for the authorities there.

However, Thomas Juxon's parish of St Thomas the Apostle (where his son William was baptised on 14 October 1649) was located in the second classis: Firth and Rait, i. 750.
