Hi is there a better way of tracing Wills in England?
On my Scottish side I have found a couple on Scotlands People - its pretty easy as you can search names and Courts and then for credits you can download and see copies of the Wills. I managed to find 2 and they were very interesting.
However on my English side I cannot find any. I have searched Ancestry but wondered if there was a better way or a site that maybe allowed searches to be done? I know not everyone made a Will but I would have thought someone somewhere on my English side might have made one? As I live in Scotland I was hoping for a way online as travelling down is not an option.
Just trying to explore some new avenues in my Tree and recently took a 6 month Worldwide subscription for Ancestry and just wanted to make the best use of it and tie up some loose ends etc
Can anyone give me any advice?
I know have birth, marriage, death certificates for most of my tree members. I also have census pages from 1841 to 1911 and Electoral roll searches. Done the War records and just looking for some new avenues to explore
Many thanks as always
Steven
