WILLS for Family History

I have found Wills to be have fantastic information - you should look for them

National Archives has many Wills - from 1384 to 1858 for GBP 3.50  http://www.documentsonline.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ 

One of sites linked from TNA is A2A http://www.a2a.org.uk/ which is a catalogue of enormous archives and some will be Wills

Later wills may be available through the Court Service - Probate Records from 1858 - http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/1176.htm and http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/1183.htm if you are reasonably sure there was a will, then perhaps you can get a copy from
Court Service. District Probate Registry. Castle Chambers. Clifford St. YORK YO1 7RG for five pounds. There is no on line source.
