Hi there everyone today.

Is it just me or is the site for wills not showing up results. Tried looking for a will for 1877 and comes up 6 pages. But blank? :-D

Thanks

From this site?
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk

Have just checked and been able to find 3 of mine, 1 each from 1929, 1991, 2011

Plenty of Smiths and Carters (common names just to check, come up for 1877!)

The probatesearch site works fine on my Windows 7 running Internet Explorer 11. Regret to say there isn't a will listed for Vause Parkin in 1877/78 or 79.
