Wellington Archives Probate Lookup Please
« on: Sunday 24 August 14 10:08 BST (UK) »
Would sks be able to photograph the following probates for me please?  There's no hurry, as and when. ;D

The first is from 1969, so its too late for those digitised on familysearch.  The second is from 1934 proven at Napier Court but I can't work out whether its been digitised on familysearch or not. :-\

Many thanks.

Thanks Janette

I was trying to manually browse for the Will, rather than search for it. ;D ;D  There are a few others from Napier I'm after covered by the period digitised by familysearch so I'll try searching now and may find them this time.  Just got to remember which they were. :-X

I did originally select that page but went to the browse option for the records towards the bottom since a number of the collections have partial indexes but many have to be browsed.  I'd download some previously, I think by searching on the names, but had completely forgotten about it yesterday. ;D :-X

Selina Morley's Will isn't very long but at least it allows me to add her death date to my tree.  Her husband didn't leave a Will but I purchased his death certificate about five years ago to see if he was who I thought he was in attempt to tie up some loose ends on the tree.  Interestingly Horace Morley's Aunt outlived both his parents and her other siblings, but only mentions another niece and not him in the Will.  Only found out of his existence when revisiting his father's death certificate which I found again recently.
