Hi
Have you checked for a Scottish will as he lived and died in Scotland? If property was owned in England or Wales then the information given in the previous post would apply
'The sealed wills/grants in the probate index are when property or money in a bank, a trust fund etc are outside the jurisdiction of the country where the will is being proved. In this case the 'outside' country is England or Wales and the country the will is being proved in is Scotland.'

You wouldn't find anything in the probate registry for England and Wales other than the indexed reference to the fact it was sealed.
Regards
Valda
