I think it was free to everybody around Remembrance Day.

The Common Room / Re: Government Find a Will Service

however there might be a weak case for people currently acting as executors or administrators.
I think the price for executors is also going up to a much more unaffordable figure for probate.

The Common Room / Government Find a Will Service
« on: Tuesday 04 November 25 12:46 GMT (UK) »
I don't know if this has already been posted on here, but I couldn't see it.
I've just heard that effective from 17 November 2025, the fee charged by the Government Find a Will Service will increase from £1.50 to £16 per document. https://www.gov.uk/search-will-probate
I presume that is to order a will. Often I've just searched on line (free so far) and made a note of date of probate and how much money was left. I rarely buy wills, unless they're old and I need to find more information that I can find on line.

I don't think you can uninstall Bing, I just close it down when it pops up, but it is annoying.

Norfolk / Re: Graves St Nicholas

If you're there on a Sunday, try to catch the vicar after morning service, he may have a list of the graves. It's what I did in Lincolnshire when I was trying to find an ancestor's grave. Otherwise, it's a slog up and down past all the graves to find any of your ancestors. I've done that too, my husband went one way and I went another - that was in what used to be part of Lancashire. I found my ancestors, plus a child that I knew nothing about.

London and Middlesex / Re: James Joseph Murphy - help!

Happy to learn of the Irish website, I might be able to find one of my husband's ancestors who just disappeared from his family in Manchester. His brother also disappeared from Liverpool, although their father stayed there until his death.

Have you tried searching without his surname but with year of birth. That's how I found a couple of missing ancestors - then again it didn't work for some Irish ones that I assume went back to Ireland.
