I have now seen my great uncles will mentioned in the National Probate Calendar. He died in Aberfeldy, Perthshire on 2 Feb 1937. The will was sealed in London 13 May 1937. Not sure what this means exactly and what do I do next to find more about his will Kay ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nivard Ovington" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 04, 2011 8:33 PM Subject: [ANGUS] England & Wales - National Probate Calendar,1861-1941 free to the 8th July > > Hi all > > I don't remember this being mentioned ? > >>From Ancestry > > ===================== > > We've made our exclusive National Probate Calendar, 1861-1941, completely > free to everybody until > July 8th.
