How to get records West Yorkshire Archive Service,

These records are listed in the site's webpage A2A Catalogues

Armitage, Sykes, Hall, Norton, solicitors, Huddersfield (addnl) clients papers [1690-1985] - ref. KC882

It is likely that an estate search for Thomas Armitage's descendents are in these files which could be a gold mine for us.

Does anyone know how we can get access to these - I seem to be word blind on their site.

My newly found 2 first cousins twice removed and I are not in the UK so cannot get to records offices.

Are there any organisations or people in Huddersfield who could do look ups for a reasonable fee?

Postscript....I will log in tomorow my time late here so off to bed
Thanks again
