Hi, i am afraid to say i was
There was nothing more than what i had from ancestry web site probate records
What a waste of a tenner ( paid for two wills )

That's such a shame. Trouble is you never know if you're going to just get "I leave everything to my wife" or a detailed list of possessions and people.

Oh! well it is nice to know at least one family had something to leave  others, even if it was only a few pounds.
Put me off buying any other i may come across.

The calendars usually include an estate valuation.

You could use that to determine whether it is worth your while purchasing anymore.

Hi, just to add that I obtained a copy of a Will from the Liverpool Office of HMCS in 4 working days from their receipt of my application.  I was fortunate to have the date of death etc for the request. When I phoned they gave 21 working days from receipt as their standard. Obviously probate had been granted at this court.  The HMCS website gives the addresses of the 'sub districts'. If one of yours has had probate granted in a sub district it would be worth phoning them to see if they hold the copy.   I was extremely impressed with the efficiency of the service.  It cost £5.  Lets hope that the others I have sent for come as quickly!
