Hi Donna, The National Archives Documents Online site only gives access to Wills granted in the PCC whereas it looks as if your reference is to an Administration. Copies of Grants of Administration are not currently available via the website and you will probably have to order directly from the National Archives. Many administrations were granted where the deceased had not actually left a Will - so you may be out of luck there as the record may only give pretty basic information about the deceased and whoever administration was granted to.
