Wills and probate
« on: Saturday 09 August 14 20:37 BST (UK) »
Hello,
       Recent research has led me to death registered in Lowestoft. The death occurred on 16th April 1957 in Lowestoft but the probate was in London, several weeks later. Does anyone know where I might obtain a copy of the will.
                  Many Thanks
                          Wayne

Have you checked on Ancestry for the Probate?

Hi Romilly,
               Yes, I have checked Ancestry. Probate was in London to John Arthur Nicholson, solicitor. I would like to obtain a copy of the will.
