Here's the dataset

http://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/england-and-wales-published-wills-and-probate-indexes-1300-1858

I narrowed a search by putting Ely in the publication box and selected one of the options which then helped when I put the Garner surname in as well.

Hi thanks for that.

Hi

Thanks for those. I've just had a look and the links are taking me to the Findmypast registration page instead of showing me any results. I think I have an account log in written down somewhere so I can check again later and try logging in. However I am currently not certain if the Waxams are part of my tree as I might be looking at the wrong Murfitt family (or wrong branch). I'm hoping that getting details from the Wills will help me identify my lot. I do have a list of Wills for the Murfitt family and others proved in various courts but that's all at the moment.

Thanks again and I will take another look later.
Matt
