	Would someone please be good enough to remind me how to go about getting a copy of a will for FH purposes. I have done so many years ago but can't remember how I went about it. I have found the death and probate on Ancestry but need to see the actual will. Grateful thanks. Jennifer

	Thanks for prompt response! Do you have an address - the probate was in London?
