<<snipped>> looking on the Ancestry site my understanding is that they only have: Administrations in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 1581-1619 and 1649-1660 Wills Proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 1383-1629, 1653-1660, 1671-1675 & 1686-1700. This leaves many gaps especially for Wills from 1700 to 1858. <<snipped>> http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=5111 is for access to "England & Wales, Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills, 1384-1858". I'm looking currently at responses from this dataset dated 1616 thru 1853 and these link to images of the wills themselves - well, the legal copies of them. So no, they are not indexes only, as was suggested elsewhere. Now whether all the searches are linked up to this dataset yet, I'm not sure. I've a vague feeling I once saw a dataset announced and accessible from its own page but not from a generic search page on the first day - which is what this is, as it only came out today (ish?).
