    ancestry have an index for England and Wales Probate 1885-1966 and they have a search category of Wills and Probate http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=1904. Wills and Probate before 1858 are on the national Archives.

    Ireland has it's own database as does Scotland.

      For 1858 -1966 you only get the reference for where and when the Will was proved and then have to send off for a paper copy. For wills before 1858 the national archives have them online to buy.

            national archives only wills proved in southern england before 1858 by the canterbury court. there are a few from northern england, but not many. i know of many wills they do not have, because they were not proved in canterbury.

                Yes Probate was granted at Bristol on 5 May 1939 following the death on 10 March. It was granted to widow Kate Clark for the sum of £125 11s 10d
