Devon Records Office Look up - have reference.
« on: Saturday 30 March 13 15:00 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could look up the following will for me as i'm in Australia.

I will pay costs if needed as we are hoping this record may fill in some gaps and give us some clues.

1078/IRW/S/1381  1825

Contents:
Metcalf Graham Steele of Woodbury, Devon

Thank you in advance,
Holly

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I did see that but it states that:
On-line ordering and payment

This service has been suspended until the system has been updated in accordance with the new charges.

And I couldn't seem to find a way to order from Oversea's at the moment. Have I missed something or misunderstood?

Go to http://www.devon.gov.uk/record_office.htm and on the right hand side is a link for an enquiry form plus an e-mail address. Try that.

Hi Holly

Metcalf is my 6x gt grandfather. I have a copy of his will and a transcript of it.

It's accessible on my Ancestry . com tree.
