Hello all, I've added to the Web site a new file containing Lovelock extracts from the National Probate Calendars. These are indexes to most Wills that were proven in the United Kingdom since 1858 and are updated annually by the Probate Registry. They give basic information about the testator (full name, address, occupation and date of death) and probate information (date probate granted, where the will was proved, names of the executors and value of estate). The file is linked to the page Sources -> General -> Wills and also to the "What's New" page. The extracts were transcribed by John Lovelock and compiled by Robert Sterry. Following is an explanatory note, and a request, from John Lovelock. "I transcribed these entries (over a couple of Saturdays in January) from the Microfilm at the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies in Aylesbury and Robert has kindly typed up my transcription. There are several entries of people in the Wallingford Berks line and I believe that Robert has updated the records. Many other entries are fascinating and I hope are of use to other Listers. There was a gap in filming in 1881. Please can you ask Lovelock Listers to check whether or not film in their local record offices includes L in 1881." I understand that copies of any of the Wills listed here can be purchased from The Probate Registry by sending them a cheque for £5 sterling, payable to "HM Paymaster General", at the following address: The Probate Registry, Castle Chambers, Clifford Street, YORK. YO1 9RG. Tel : (01904) 666777 If you do send for copies, I'd be very grateful for you to let me publish the full Will on the web-site once you have it. Regards, James
