Quote from: Elwyn Soutter on Friday 12 June 20 09:27 BST (UK) Its important to spell the name as you see it, ie with M. M is the original version of Mc or Mac. Not in much use these days but it was standard in the 1700s and 1800s. If you cant get it to work, just enter her forename only leaving the surname blank. Specify 1891 as year of death. Only a handful of Claras come up and you should see her easily enough.Thanks for the tip Elwyn. The apostrophe in M'Creight was indeed flagged as an invalid character. But leaving out her surname didn't pull up any likely candidates. I've contacted my other researcher, who married a McCreight, and await a reply.@ Capt Jock "... he couldn't take the Mick out of me."

....I had no difficulty in finding it again just now. There are 6 Claras who had probate granted in 1891. Yours is the 2nd on the list.

Jon,I mentioned the will was at the Principal Registry in Dublin (i.e. not Belfast, Armagh or Londonderry which are the records PRONI has). And I gave you the link to the Principal Registry site!Elwyn
