Are Yorkshire Wills online anywhere ?

Thanks for all that, I probably will get carried away, I'm forever disappearing down rabbit holes that lead nowhere. I'll restrict myself to the 1836 Thomas for now because if he's wrong then they all are.
At £7.50 a pop I need to set rules. I think I've been spoiled by Durham Diocese wills, mostly free online and nicely indexed.

If you can get to York to visit the Borthwick, then you can view all of the Probate Books and download copies of any wills you want to a USB stick free of charge.

RowanR - Ironically I'm in York next week but if I broke away from carrying the Christmas shopping to go there I'd be for the high jump !
A trip on my own for family history would cost quite a bit more than all the copy fees added together.

Well I finally got a reply from the Borthwick so I thought I'd round off this thread with the details for any future searcher.
These are the people mentioned -

Will of Thomas Oliver of Carlton, Rothwell, York, Farmer, written 24 Mar 1834, proved 7 Dec 1836
Son, John Oliver of Carlton, Farmer
Son, Thomas Oliver of Carlton, Farmer
Daughter, Ann, wife of John Pease of Pontefract, Cabinet Maker
Deceased Daughter, Mary, late wife of John Swann of Newcastle, Glass Maker
5 unnamed Grandchildren, children of above Mary
Daughter, Elizabeth, wife of David Johnson of Thorp, Farmer
Daughter, Easter, wife of Isaac Banks of Lofthouse, Innkeeper
Daughter, Hannah Oliver of Carlton

This is exactly what I was hoping for, Mary is my 4th great grandmother and this proves she was the daughter of Thomas Oliver of Carlton. On occasion wills can be a real goldmine, tying together generations like nothing else can.

Thanks again for your help.
