I think you can also get the entry from the main death duty register (IR26) from the National Archives, using the register and folio numbers given in their index, but I must say I've never tried it. The NA documentation on this is extremely unclear but it seems to say that information not found on the will itself can often be held in this main register. I wonder if it's worth emailing them to ask how much a copy of the register entry would be 
If only I had ancestors rich enough to leave wills, I might be able to find out for myself 
Good luck
Angela

Hi Angela
Like you I am completely mystified by the Death Duty registers and how to obtain the full info. In theory the ref from the index can be turned into an IR26 ref but it doesn't work, gives entirely the wrong years when I've tried. Without a specific ref the NA will no longer copy documents 
The Probate office are very helpful and don't require a ref just dates, so I hope they hold Thomas will.
Hope you eventually find some wills for your ancestors, they can be very illuminating.
Cheers
Jan

Good to know Ermy Do let us know when it arrives.  Interesting thought Redroger, the more documents that survived the Blandford 'vicissitudes' the better. Paul
