Prerogative Court of Canterbury has will indexes on-line and you can order on-line, enter credit card details, and immediately access and print the downloaded will. Wills probated at PPC usually were of people all over England who had property in more than one county, etc. Plus, each archdeaconry had its own probate court, each with several indexes. And some parishes (called peculiars) were in special jurisdictions. After 1858, wills were probated centrally. So there are several places to search. LDS have filmed the indexes to these, plus the wills on film, so it is possible to search these by yourself from the US. Not as easy as getting someone else to do it, but it can be done. And it is satisfying to do the research yourself.
