You can apply for his will from the York Probate Office. Google for address. It will cost £5. The death duty registers are at the National Archives, Kew.

Hi
I have found my 4x Great Grandfather on the index to death duty registers on the find my past website. He died in 1884 in Pimlico, Belgrave, St George Hanover Square, Middlesex. It states his name Joseph Woodhouse his place of residence - Pimlico and Joseph Woodhouse as the executor. There are some number and letters in the following collums. Where other listed place like Liverpool in one collum his appears to say PR. What I am trying to find out is how do i go about getting a copy of his will? Or information regarding this entry.
Any help on where to do next would be great
Thanks Karen
