Title: Index of Irish Wills 1484-1858 Transcription
Post by: akissling on Saturday 14 February 15 17:46 GMT (UK)

I have found two family wills in this resource:Index of Irish Wills 1484-1858 Transcription.
From what I read in the database that indexed the wills, the fact that the names (William Winder, Offlay, 1839 and Henry Massey, Cork died 1832) are listed means that some form of the will may exist. What I am wondering is if I can order/purchase a copy of these wills from a government website or some other sort of document delivery service? I do not live in Ireland so this would be very helpful. Thanks very much for your advice.

Or this site? http://www.origins.net/help/aboutio-wills.aspx
