How do I obtain copies of these wills?
« on: Saturday 20 October 18 08:05 BST (UK) »
I found these two references in the National Archives catalogue:

Collection MISS L BIRD'S DOCUMENTS (FAMILY, ESTATE AND BUSINESS RECORDS OF THE BEAUMONT FAMILY OF BEVERLEY)
Section Wills relating to the East Riding of Yorkshire
Finding No DDBD/93/44
Title Probate copy will of William Ingram of Hotham yeoman

and was redirected to the East Riding of Yorkshire Archives and Local Studies Service but I can't figure out how to obtain copies of these wills or even if that's possible to order them.

Can anyone explain the process to me? I'm in Australia.

The information you mentioned about the beneficiaries also shows on the East Riding Archives website.

It looks like you need to email them to find out if they can send you a copy.

Their email is: archives.service@eastriding.gov.uk
Good luck!

Thanks, Liza, I couldn't work out how to get the records come up on their catalogue. I'll email them as you suggest.
