Will John Leighs Guildford 1848
« on: Monday 23 June 08 01:44 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Some guidance please as to the place to look for a Will of John Leighs China Dealer of Guildford who died 1848.  Would the Surrey Records Office be the best place to start? Or are there archives in Guildford itself? There is nothing on the NRO online Wills site.
Regards

Hello Valda,
Thanks for the link.  It would appear from the info on the site, that because of the way the Church organised Surrey parishes, that I have a choice of 4 places to look.

Also remember The National Archives has indexed only its wills online not its administrations. The National Archives Death Duty registers may also be worth looking at (for this period not indexed online).

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=107

'There is a 'short-cut' for the period 1796 to 1858 - the indexes to the death duty registers at The National Archives give the court where a will was proved:'...... with some exceptions

Hello Valda,

By the looks of things I would  need to visit the National Archives or hire a researcher, neither of which is possible. Thanks anyway.
Yours
