If anyone is visting Lichfield and has time, could you lookup a Will for me please?
John Tilstone
Will 1793 Lichfield
I have tried online - records seem to be 1640-1760 apparently they  hold some outside of this period.
Any help most appreciated. ;D

Assuming that you live in the UK, and if you are just wanting to know whether John Tilstone actually left a will, then I suggest that you telephone Lichfield Records Office - they are really very helpful.  Otherwise I'll have a look for you - not sure when I'm next visiting  :-\

OK - so what are you actually asking me to do?  :-\  My second brain cell obviously hasn't kicked in this morning  :o

Hi,
I have contacted the records office and they have confirmed Probate July 19th 1793 and are sending me a copy out. They were so helpful. Thank you for your help BumbleB ;D
