Good evening, I have received three death registrations from NSW and would now like to check if these people left any wills. I understand the probate indexes are on fiche and kept in various libraries. Are they also available online? If not, would someone be prepared to check the fiche for me, please? I am looking for: Clara Williamson, died 13 November 1932. Her husband: Arthur Joseph Williamson, died 9 May 1943. Their son: Alexander Williamson, died 8 February 1955. If probates are available, how do I then go about obtaining copies? Many thanks for your time. Ailsa Petrie Hamilton New Zealand
Dear Alisa, I have the NSW Probate Index and will look at these for you later today. They are not on line, but you might find the first one on www.records.nsw.gov.au as State Records are gradually indexing them. If there is a Probate Number then there is a fair chance that there will be a Probate Packet. These are obtained in person at State Records or there are a couple of people who do them for a fee. In round terms they are available up to about 1963. Number 598433 is the last one available the last time I was there and that has not altered for a long time. We will correspond off line later.
