BORTHWICK: PROBATE INDICES FOR VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

These are secondary records and I may have made transcription errors, either in writing them down from the microfiche or in typing them up from my notes. So please, if you find one of your family on this Index take the time to double check the fiche, or speak to someone with access to them, before purchasing the documents. There is a lot of advice on the internet about how to to obtain copies of wills & probates. I understand that you may seek a copy of probate documents and/or wills from the Victorian Public Records Office (check their website) or you may contact the Register of Probates in Melbourne Vic. If you live in Victoria copies of some early wills may be obtained by visiting the PRO & searching the films they have stored on site.

As can be seen from the tables below there are still some years I need to check. I'll also cross-check this page against the fiche when I have some time.
