HI John Thank you, I've already found about 20, including a great uncle, who, as far as I knew, didn't leave a will. It's help pin down a few spouses and daughters as well.

Thanks John I see that they have now fixed the problem concerning the inability to locate a will for someone who died in 1995, but did not have probate granted until 1996, which was the major problem when this first came out in December.

Further to Maria's remark, it can be well worth repeatedly using the "Previous Year" link when on the "Wills and Probate 1996 to present" tab to take you back before 1996 as it will also bring up details of those who died before 1996 but where Probate was much later. I found 3 deaths in 1989, 1989 & 1994 where probate was respectively 2003, 2005 & 1999 that were not found in a search using the 1858-1996 tab.
