  • Finding a will

    My 2x great grandfather died in 1897 in Manchester, England and I have been looking for his will. I've looked online but cannot find a will. I live in Canada and can't look in person. What can I do?

    Have you used the government probate site - https://www.gov.uk/search-will-probate

      Do you know he left a will? If he did and it went to probate it will be listed on the site Elaine mentioned or on Ancestry. Watch out for mistranscriptions and also watch out for the probate being listed up to 20 years or more after the death.

      You could give us a name to help you look.
