Hello Alison If you scroll down the front page from the link in my original message there is a paragraph about 'Missing volumes'. For some reason they have been working from an incomplete set although there must be plenty of copies about the UK.

Mike Thanks for this - next time I'll read a bit better. I now remember I saw a mention of this on Twitter a few months back, someone was taken on an Ancestry tour and took a photo of them scanning these indexes. I posted the Twitpic to one of the Rootsweb lists I subscribe to, and someone replied that this wasn't the wills indexes. If I recall correctly, they were indexes retrieved from somewhere and it said at the time this was incomplete.
