	Apologies if this has been put on here recently. The price of obtaining copies of wills has gone up to £6. I visited our local Probate office today and was surprised that I was unable to find any records relating to at least six names I was researching. I then checked one name which I had found on Ancestry and there was no record of this one either. I questioned a member of staff about it explaining that deatils were on Ancestry but not on their system and he said, "Our systems not infallible". Great. Chris

	Thanks for the update about the price rise - nice little earner there! And you are right about the infallibility - a friend wanted his father's Will. The father died in 1998 - he knew there was one as his brother had discussed Probate and other 'stuff'. So he filled the form out (before A got it's Calender online) and sent it off with a cheque. Said cheques was cashed but no more was heard.
