Success !

Thanks to Sue and John.

Chrome did it, but having an aversion to its presence on my PC, I went to the library and had no bother viewing my target.

Thanks again.

Peter

I hope I'm in the correct section.

I'm posting with the hope that someone might be in a position to help me, or know a researcher who undertakes such research.

I wish to obtain a copy of the will of
Duncan McTavish MacLeod
Probate granted 14th September 1903 by Supreme Court of WA
to Harry Hale of Hannan Street, Kalgoorlie

Thanks for looking

Peter
