G'day Jeanette attachments don't get posted on the mailing list, which I think is why I your email reads: "This is what I'm looking for: Jeanette Brentnall". Since the probate reforms of the 1850s, Probate is handled at the National level. Copies of these Probate records (at £6 a piece) can be ordered through: Probate Registrar York House York Place Leeds Yorkshire LS1 2BA England Prior to the reforms of the 1850s, Probate was handled by the Church of England. For this you will need to know the Archdeaconry where the Will was probated. Most of these records have been microfilmed by the LDS. Most of the Leicestershire records will come under the Archdeaconry of Leicester in the Diocese of Lincoln. Here's what the LDS have on microfilm < http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=topicdetails&subject=453780&subject_disp=England%2C+Leicester+%2D+Probate+records&columns=*,0,0 > Copies of these microfilms can be ordered into your local LDS Family History Library (I see you've a Bigpond email address - so the cost will be A$7.75 per film). David Armstrong Maylands, Western Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeanette Brentnall Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2011 1:57 PM I'm trying to find a way to sight a record shown in the UK Extracted Probate Records but it appears that Ancestry does not provide the means to do this. I have tried the National Archives, The Genealogist website to no avail. Does anyone know how to access this and other wills from this era? Advice much appreciated.
