Would some kind person be able to look up this probate record and obtain a copy for me.

I would pay for any costs (petrol and copy of probate) etc.

Cheers Donna

Can do - next trip to the Archives will be in about a fortnight.
Do you want a photocopy of all pages or a digital copy (if I can get the camera to work properly!)

Cheers

Hi Bren,

Thanks for the information, is this from the probate record, was that the only information on the record.  I was hoping that it may tell me where James Shaw was burried. As it is a mystery and also where his wife may be burried.

Thanks for your help

Cheers Donna

Hi Donna

Yes that's the Probate lookup you requested.
Of the hundreds that I have viewed, it is very rare to get a copy of the Death Cert.
