Penang Malaysia

Shaun,

Can you please confirm if the Calendar states that the will was proved at the Principal Registry?  If I can quote where it was proved, when and by whom, in the application to my local office, it will speed the process for obtaining a copy;  otherwise, it's likely to be delayed - awaiting a look-up by staff.

Thanks, in anticipation.

Yes it was the Principal Registry. Probate was granted in 1874. The named executor was a Colonel George Leckie.
