Nancy I'm sorry to say I don't think that sending American Money orders will work -- at least from your end. As I read it, IMOs are all they will accept, other than checks. A thing you could try is to contact your own bank and see if they can draft a check (in pounds sterling) as it might be less expensive. Others (in similar circumstances) have suggested getting cash (again, from your bank, but they'll have to order it unless you are in a large metro area, probably) and wrapping it in foil (no, I don't know why -- x-rays, I guess), and sending it that way. They may not like it, but cash is cash! Otherwise, the only wills I know about are apparently earlier than what you are wanting, (before 1858) and that is the National Archives (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ ) Good luck on this.

Faster, simpler. There may be a fee (perhaps $5) for int'l transactions, I don't recall now, but it is certainly not $30. What sites are you using?   Pat In Tucson From: roots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:roots-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of nwilkinson1@yahoo.com Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2012 10:14 PM To: Roots-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ROOTS-L] International money orders Quite often I am finding that in order to purchase info from England, an international money order in pounds sterling is required.  My bank charges $30 U.S. dollars just for the check, making most transactions ridiculously expensive.  Any suggestions?
