The national archivist site sent me a message thought I would let you all know We have just uploaded the index for Wills and Administrations for The Court of Probate 1884 to the current online archive. You can now view indexes of English and Welsh Wills and Administrations from 1796 to 1884.

Is that EXACTLY what they said? Because if it is, I suspect it is misleading. They may have indexes for estate duty wills from 1796 onwards, but this doesn't include every single will or administration. How I wish it did. It will only include wills or administrations on which estate duty is payable. There will be lots of others, not in these indexes, awaiting discovery in county records offices across the country. B
