Good luck with finding one! I went down to the HM Courts office in Holborn (London) armed with the names and death dates of all my direct ancestors (and my OHs) that had died since 1858, all 46 of them. How many did I find looking through their indices at the death year and about five years after for each one? NONE!!! Aaarrrrggghhhh!! |

You're all brilliant, thankyou. I know a will was left, probably the only one out of all my ancestors who actually made one! So will get cracking, many thanks. |

I've been really lucky as most of mine are from cheshire, and cheshire council has them online to search and buy for, brilliant source of info if you can get them |

If you can find the one you want on the National Archives site, for a fee of £3 you can download it. |
