I'm trying to browse the images of original Durham wills at FamilySearch - https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2358715?collectionNameFilter=false
The will I'd like to look at was proved in 1808 (Eleanor Stowell, ref. DPR/I/1/1808/S29/1-2 - taken from North East Inheritance database), but the browsing page at FamilySearch doesn't take me beyond 1664. Does anyone know how I can access this one, please?
I'm happy to try asking FamilySearch direct, but as it's a Sunday I thought it might be quicker to ask here first.
Many thanks.

It says at the bottom of the page An error has occurred. Please try again later.

From the NEI site

Viewing online images
Online images of most probate records are available at the Genealogical Society of Utah's familysearch site. Where available, these images can be accessed by clicking on the reference codes shown in brackets after each document description within the catalogue above. If a document reference is not hyperlinked, this means that the online image is missing or has not been linked into our data.
E Stowell's will is not highlighted therefore according to the above that means it is not yet there or is not linked to NEI data

OK, it's not just me then. (I got that error message too.)

Thanks - I'd seen that. What I wanted to find out was which of those two options applied.

There is definitely a fault, I have often accessed that page and far more should load than is showing at present.
I'm pretty certain the will should be there for you to view, it's just that the hyperlink hasn't yet been loaded.
When the project went live there weren't any hyperlinks, so I imagine they are still working their way through and adding them.

OK, thanks. If I don't get anywhere tomorrow I'll get in touch with FamilySearch.

Might be worth trying a different browser. The various Familysearch sites seem to be getting quite picky these days and I've found that the best browser currently working for me on fs sites is firefox.

Forgot to mention - I've tried it with Chrome, Firefox and IE11 in Windows 7, and Safari on an iPad. Same result with all of them.
