Title: Wills at Maidstone
Post by: MatthewD76 on Saturday 13 October 12 01:10 BST (UK)
Is there anyone who would be able to obtain copies of some wills when they next visit the record centre at Maidstone. The wills were proved in the Archdeaconry of Canterbury and I can supply dates and full references.

I have tried to obtain these through the FamilySearch website at The National Archives and although I have found several of the wills I am after I have not been able to find some as the system does not appear to be indexed and so it is not possible to search by a refrence number (plus the documents do not appear to be scanned in any logical order).

I hope someone will be kind enough to help and I am happy to pay for copying and postage costs.

Hi Matthew,

I'm planning a trip to the Maidstone records library in a couple of weeks time, so PM me with the details and I'll try my best to get them for you while I'm there.
