I have just found 3 wills for ancestors in the last half an hour on Find My Past!
I was searching for wills for my Stillings branch, and also found two for my Stillwell branch as they were on the same page! I now can order the will of George Stillings of Bolton Brow Halifax from 1843 - he is my 4x gt grandfather.
It's a great resource - click on births, marriages and deaths and then scroll down to deaths. You'll find this:
Index to death duty registers 1796-1903 search
It gives the Testator and the Executor and the reference information you need to order a copy.
If you know the year of death of someone you should find any will either in the same year or perhaps a year or two later.
