Hi, Thank you to those who explained how they store their paper Will copies. Obviously a variety of ways, probably depending upon the size and origin of their ONS and it's distribution around the world. I have decided it would be better to file them all together, rather than behind their family within my main file. Once I have extracted them all I'll consider again whether to keep them by name, date or place. The Bawtrees have two main branches, one in Essex and the other London. My main file is getting rather cumbersome that am thinking of extracting those two branches to have a file each, in which case if I divide the Wills under those headings that might be all I need to be able to find a particular Will when required. Looking at the 'Calendar Index' yesterday I did notice on the left hand side one where it gives the name and amount also said Probate in England. I think that Will applies to a Bawtree who had said in a census that he was living off dividends from an Australian Company, so perhaps another part of his will was dealt with in Australia? I also know of a Canadian Will which leaves portions of his estate to people in England and goes on to say he suggests that it is retained as he has arranged rather than converted to money.
