I've found an entry on the National Probate Calendar for someone I'm interested in (via Ancestry). Is it possible to look up the associated will somewhere?
The details are: Martha Waite otherwise Gale, who died in Andover in 1863. It says the will, with two codicils was proved at the Principal Registry.
Thanks

The documents are not on-line but you can order a copy via the service at https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

Thanks. I've tried but it doesn't come up with anything.

Did you not find it mentioned. I have just tried by putting in surname Waite and year 1863 and no other information, this took me to 1863 records which are in alphabetical order. I then selected Next page until I reached the W’s.
This is the information you will need to order the documents from the probate office, they will cost £1.50 and they will take a few days to be available for you to download

Thanks.I'll try that

Amazing! It worked. Thank you

You will probably have to enter the surname as "Waite otherwise Gale"?
Else your order may be rejected!
Surname has to match, exactly, what is on the Calendar.
