Ancestry- new records ?

[kerryb]

Found loads and amazingly my great great grandfather was worth a lot more than I would ever have imagined.  Now where's my share then!

Is it me?  (very probably)
I just went to my Ancestry home page and there's nothing new showing at all.
What am I missing?

p.s. Tati's direct hyperlink worked perfectly (thank Tati) and am stunned at the amount my great grandfather left in 1926, but still not clear where on Ancestry it is, or why it's not flagged on the home page

at the bottom of the home page there is the section : "What's Happening at Ancestry.co.uk" For some reason new records dont always show straight away. But if you click the little link at the bottom of the box that says "View all new records " - it gives the records in date order of when they where uploaded.

this can't be the big important thing tho, can it?  there must be something else coming ?

I think Wills are very important.  Just found something for my 2 x g.grandfather.  I guess he didn't make a will as it states "Administration of the effects......"   The date is 3.5 months after his death, but what is interesting is that his wife already appeared to have moved to Manchester.  I knew she was there in 1881 and died there but hadn't thought she would have moved within 3 months of her husband's death and burial.

I was hoping there would be a will, as I wanted to see his signature.  There is an entry on FindMyPast on the Chelsea Pensioners (which is not only Chelsea Pensioners ) which could be my 2 x g.grandfather apart from the fact his occupation was given as labourer whereas a few years later when he married he was a spinner.  However, he signed the army papers and I was hoping to compare that signature with one on a will to see if they were the same person.
