The probate indexes for the Irish Republic from 1923 to 1982 are here :- http://www.cigo.ie/httpwww.cigo.iewills.html as 1 PDF for each year so put the kettle on while each downloads. ;-) That page also mentions later wills going into the National Archives when over 20 years old and being indexed therein. While you're looking for Percy and Eileen, I'll be looking for my grandmother's cousin as I hadn't seen that info before. ** For first time users - in "Find a Will" in probatesearch.service.gov.uk once you get a page found for a surname/year you can step forward/backward by year or page without having to re-enter the year again.

He didn't get nearly as much compensation for unfair dismissal as he was claiming, so they might, indeed, have stayed on because they couldn't afford to go anywhere else. -- Anne Chambers South Australia anne dot chambers at bigpond dot com

I would be tempted to save them if the storage space is available to avoid having to download every time but if anyone asks, I never said that. ;-)
