Hi, In response to this notice and SoG's reply. I understand that Ancestry has most of the 'calendars' from 1858 on their website but what I would like is the same amount of information online to be easily searchable and viewed freely. It was interesting to see the post 1996 effort but unless you are researching a very rare surname it is impossible to know who the deceased is from merely name, date and place of probate.
