I managed to find a Will from 1781 and yes it was a mess and virtually unreadable but I spent nearly a week cleaning it up on the computer and now have a wonderful piece of history added into my Family Tree. Sheila

I used this site a while ago. If you can find a family will is is great. You download it easily enough but then have to decipher the handwriting!!

The government must be trying to push the site as Vanessa Feltz was talking about in on her radio show this afternoon. Naomi

Our local newspaper has an article in it today regarding the publishing of over 1 million wills from the last 1 thousand years. They can be downloaded for £3 each and the website is www.documentsonline.pro.gov.uk.
