Excellent - news
I frequently visit First Avenue House, Probate records in Holborn - this will prove most useful

Gwyn thanks for bringing it to our attention

Great. Nice to see that it is fully indexed rather than just page range indexed like the "Index to death duty registers 1796-1903" (http://www.findmypast.co.uk/DeathDutyStartSearchServlet) at FindMyPast.

Thanks,
Mark.
