Copy of Will 1840
« on: Monday 24 April 06 07:26 BST (UK) »
Where do I get a copy of a will that is listed in the index to wills of Archdeacon of Richmond: Consistory Court - Eastern Deaneries.  I know the  one I want is in the index I saw the surname listed on another persons website...but where to now?

Have you tried University of Durham - library - special collections? We found wills there back to 1743.
