Louise, I am having the same problem, it misses out the payment details page and skips to the payment confirmation page.

I will try again tomorrow.

How sad Adeline - 15 WW1 deaths on your tree. I have always said how blessed my family was. Every last one of them came home. Only 2 from OHs family didn't make home and both of them served with Canadian regiments.

We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars, Oscar Wilde New avatar, my dad age about 3/4 months, could have been worse, it could have been the awful nude on a rug!!

This is the link to the search:

I've just been searching and have found only one soldier out of about fifteen WW1 deaths in my tree. I had hoped to find a will for my grandfather's brother but was unsuccessful. Maybe he will be in the next batch to be released.

The cost of a will is £6.
