Ancestry Probate Lookup

The bottom line is that you can't find out the value of the estate without buying a copy of the Will

Also, if a Will was left, but didn't go to Probate, there will be no record anywhere.

Sorry that posting was just showing what somebody had found in March, maybe I should not have copied and pasted it all.

The reason for the posting was that they found the 2 results on Anc, which I took to be Ancestry.

Because you refer to two possible Probate records - for women who lived in different places.

Why you mentioned the 2010 one is beyond me, if, as you imply, you knew her DoD

Thanks for your help. Those 2 deaths are not her, I gave her DoD in my first post.

What has her address got to do with my request?

NOT ON ANCESTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those references are from the government site listed above. The wording is the clue.

You're going to have to buy a copy of the Will for any more info

But surely you know where she lived...................

Somebody found this result back in March, I assumed they were referring to Ancestry.

This may be the 2012 death/probate that shows on Anc ( I only have access to the search)

1 result with the name WOOD and the year of death 2012

WOOD DAISY 27 September 2013 4170400 23 December 2012 Grant and will Winchester

the other on Anc perhaps less likely is
WOOD DAISY 30 December 2010 3421231 04 November 2010 Grant and will Birm

Not for recent ones.

Only says - "Not exceeding........................."

Anyway, it's irrelevant, as the record isn't on Ancestry

I thought I had seen in the past details online of how much was left in the estate.
