Wills?
« on: Monday 17 August 09 00:04 BST (UK) »
Good morning
I am wondering about the best way to get a couple of wills for the Huntingdon area for the mid 1800s?
Thank you
Jenny from Townsville

Depends if they're pre or post 1858. If pre, email Huntingdon Records Office to see if they hold the wills. If post 1858 see http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/1226.htm (which also has a section on pre 1858 wills)
