Records Office Look up please
« on: Tuesday 23 August 11 15:57 BST (UK) »
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone is off up to the records office and if so would they kindly look up 2 Wills for me. The 2 people i am interested in are a THOMAS WILLS who died 28th March 1886 and a MATILDA WILLS who died 31st March 1917 both lived in Northampton town center  probably in Newland, any help would be very appreciated.

thanks

I think you will find that they are willing to look up wills and send copies to you .I'm not sure how much they charge but it isn't exhorbitant as I have had 3 sent to me this year.

Hi Kaz,   You may already know this......The National Probate Calendar has both of these wills listed, the address on both is 71 Newland, Northampton.

If you want the details from the calendar let me know. You can get copies of the will from the Probate Office, York; I think they cost £6.00 each now

Regards

Hi John, thanks for the info.I would normally apply for the Wills but they are not my family, i am just trying to find out info on the 2 people for a group i belong to on fb as we are trying to solve some mysteries surrounding the daughter Matilda and i was hoping someone would do a look up for me at the RO as i cant get up there myself.
