Hello. I have a note of the 1865 Will of David HEARLEY, [death 09/12/1864] of 208 White-Cross St, Finsbury. It has no other info apart from being proved at the Principle Registry by the oath of Mary HEARLEY, widow, effects under £600.  Is it possible to get a copy of the will and/or is this all the info I would find anyway. Regards. Barbara. England.

Hi Barbara Yes, you can get a copy of the will, either in person from a probate registry office, or by post. The cost is £6.00. Details of the procedure and a form for postal applications can be found at http://www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/courts-and-tribunals/courts/probate/copie s-of-grants-wills.htm. Whether or not the will will tell you more than you already know is a leap in the dark. Your chap may simply have said "I leave all my worldly goods to my dear wife" or he could have written half a dozen pages leaving legacies to every single member of his extended family, supplying names and addresses of all of them, or something in between! Hope this helps Caroline > > Hello. > > I have a note of the 1865 Will of David HEARLEY, [death 09/12/1864] of > 208 White-Cross St, Finsbury.

Many thanks to Caroline and Andy. I'll print of the application form and keep my fingers crossed that it's a full will with masses of info on it!!! 'Dream on' comes into my head! Kind regards. Barbara. >
