    It looks like Circ - perhaps as in Circuit Court?

    I got to the number but the example just showed what I saw on FMP and not a will.

    IR27/196 is what is visible on FmP. If you follow the guide posted by Jan then I think you needed IR26/1079, folio 778 for the actual will - but these aren't available online.

    I think the word (abbreviation) before Cornwall is 'Arc' for the Archdeaconry of Cornwall, Probate Court.

    ADDED: Copy wills may be held at the archives: https://kresenkernow.org/SOAP/detail/0cd2d29a-3d9d-4fc8-b533-a5d114917d94/
