It's been a while - there's an index (I see it on Ancestry, but I think I used FMP back then).
Ancestry has a link back to TNA. I searched TNA and found this article

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/country-court-death-duty-registers-1796-1811/

I've used two DDR records. They detailed the accounting of the estate, and who the assets were distributed to. They didn't per se clear up the mysteries I was trying to solve, but shed some light on them.

I have a few administrations that may reveal the wider family at certain points. I remember once a cousin went to kew when in england, and tried to order a death duty but they couldn't locate it. They said the reference was incorrect.

is annswabey still around?

Did you look on TNA? They seemed to have a download option? But I don't know if it's the full record or something else.
I think AntonyM also goes to TNA?
