Where are Hertfordshire Wills Located?
« on: Wednesday 04 October 06 20:27 BST (UK) »

Can anyone tell me if there is a will index for someone who died 1895 in the registration district of Barnet. I've tried a search at York with no luck.

Post 1858, all wills were probated by the state

http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/wills.htm

The National Archives guides are very useful to read on pre 1858 and post 1858 wills.

The TNA also has this page of information online mainly about pre 1858 wills.

Since you're looking for a will in 1895 if York couldn't find it there won't be one. ALL wills after 1858 are available via the York probate office.

Thanks Tony & Colin for your help, that answers the query permanently I think which is helpful even if it isn't the outcome I had hoped for!
    Good luck with your searches & thanks again.
