Probate records only tell you to whom probate was granted. i.e. the executor. You have to then order the will to find out who inherited.

Can someone see if they can find a probate record for john Featherstone of Wiveliscombe Somerset.

This might be a silly question but are Probate records the same as wills?

Thanks

Jane
