Last night I found a will on the National Archives site. It was available for download but because it was after 1 oclock in the morning i couldnt be bothered to go get my credit card , thought i'ld do that today.

But of course, now -- no matter what term i put in the search box i cannot find the will again!!

Can anyone find it for me --and get the reference number so I can order it ?

John Moser of Felkirk 13 August 1833

Thanks!

Hi Marmalady,

Can't see it - either under Moser or Felkirk  ???   Are you sure you found it on TNA?  I once found a PCC will on The Genealogist that doesn't show up on the TNA's website...

Yes -- it was definitely the National Archives site -- the tab was still open when i opened my browser this morning but my cart was emptied

thanks for looking -- i'll have to keep checking in case it re-appears as mysteriously as it disappeared!

I couldn't find it using the searches on TNA site but Google led me to it:

Bristow, Horsleydown; Glasscodine, anywhere; Ferrier, Edinburgh; Lucey, Bermondsey; Horner, Essex; Bowskill, Elkesley; Salter, Great Yarmouth; Vowles, Bedminster/Cardiff; Morgan, Breconshire; Vidgen, New Romney

It looks like the route is:

National Archives
Home
Discovery - our catalogue (on right of page)

I've always found the TNA difficult to search.
