Dear all, Until April 1999 wills from the probate registry where the best value in genealogy being .75pence a shot what ever the length of the will including postage. Alas that time is past. About 5 years ago I enquired about the digitisation of the index and was told that it was activity being looked at. Any one who has had the pleasure of using the on site computerized finding aid for wills will know how clunky that system is. I always assumed that the probate registry resisted the move Middleton street because of their legal clients. Perhaps it's them that can now push to have the 1 hour service restored.
