    As it's after 1857 you will need to get a copy from York.

    See:

    Publications - Guidance - Probate - Guide to obtaining copies of probate records

    and under the bit that says: What if I cannot get to First Avenue House or a Registry?

    I notice they don't bother to tell you who to make the cheque out to and I always get it wrong....Is it HMCS?

      I think you should find some info on the Wiki for that? If Wills doesn't get you the right area, then Probate should.

          From that link, click on "Forms and Guidance", and search for form number PA1S, download the form and it gives you all the info, including who to make the cheque out to.

            Bear in mind that very few married women owned property in their own right, so few left wills.

                    Oh, sorry, Robyne, I thought when you said you had found a notice, that you meant you had found details of the will. I could have looked it up for you at the record office but now I'm home!
