Hi could I ask another favour
I am after the probate records of

Eliza LEE   died 6 June 1881 at Petersham

I have found 2 entries on the NSW Archives Records
when I use "name search" this comes up
LEE Eliza Petersham 06/06/1881 30/07/1881 [19/10182] 3025 No Duty Paid File. File now at Z02499 [20/6986]

when I use the "Investigator"this comes up
Series 3-5763  Eliza Lee Date of death 6 June 1881, Granted on 29 June 1881
Record series containing this item: 13660  Probate packets
Access directions: 359 

I hope this may make sense , I have no clue as to what this means. 

regards

Cass

Hi Cass,
   The first one is the deceased estate file (details of assets and debts) and the second is probate file with will and family details and also details of assets and debts.   (my rough explanation - please feel free to correct me). 

    These days they only keep the probate file as it contains most of what is in deceased estate file anyway.

   I'll put the probate file on higher priority. 

   I hope to get there next week ...

cheers,
   Ros

[CassT]

Many thanks, the probate file will be wonderful
Cass

sorry about the delay in replying, somehow I seemed to have stopped the system sending me notifications of replies, I have contacted the Moderator who hopes that all is now fixed.

[rosball]

No problems Cass 

See if you are notifed about this 

cheers,
   Ros
