I've just found out that you can obtain copies of wills and administration by post for a fee of £5 for a 4 year search. Records held are from 1858 onwards. For more information see www(.)courtservice(.)gov(.)uk/cms/3800(.)htm I'm sure you all already know about this but just in case you didn't (like me) thought I'd post it. Angela Born

Some early wills are also available on line from www.documentsonline.pro.gov.uk , at a cost of £3 per document downloaded. As the address suggests this is part of the PRO website, which is also just starting to digitise WW1 medal index cards (surnames A & B available so far). Gill
