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  Huh

If only I had ancestors rich enough to leave wills, I might be able to find out for myself  Grin

Good luck

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  Sad

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

Good to know Ermy  Grin Do let us know when it arrives. Smiley

Interesting thought Redroger, the more documents that survived the Blandford 'vicissitudes' the better.

Not in my case, I have discovered a family will dated 1671 which survived the great fire of Blandford in 1731. It is suitably charred around the edges. Interesting to know just what did survive, though I believe it was very little.
