    I presume (but not certain) that you send to York just like any will after 1858.

    The address is

    Postal Searches and Copies Dept (cheques to HM Paymaster General)
    York Probate sub registry
    1st Floor
    Castle Chambers
    Clifford Street
    YORK
    YO1 9RG

    A will is a public document and anyone can apply for a copy.

          Its £5 each Daphne. I find its better to search the Probate claendars and find if there actually was a will, but the £5 does cover a ?3 year search.

          Sometimes they come quite quickly but sometimes it takes so long to arrive you've forgotten you sent for it!!

                  Julie, her real name is Jewel, apparently my dad read it in a book and gave her that name before my mum could say anything :D think she got her own back with my name though:o

                    I've never known anyone actually called Jewel before, I wonder what name you would have had if left to your Dad........:D
