Uk Wills online has anyone ordered any?

[Miss Trees]

Yes you will probably not get a second email when they finally go online. One just showed up for me today and still waiting on the other.

I only have a small gripe about this great new service...there are 67 pages of Smiths in 1873 and I'm after Robert 
A Christian name search facility would be a great boon, maybe that's on the cards for a later date 

A possible work around is to take the URL at the top of the screen where the first page is found and change the number at the end

eg: Smiths in 1967

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Calendar?surname=Smith&yearOfDeath=1967&page=1#calendar

change the number just before the hash # (119 takes you to Smithers-Smithson) and you will wizz to that page

Thanks Dawnsh
That worked a treat, found my Robert within a few clicks and have ordered

my experience so far

I wonder why I didn't have a problem, I downloaded the will I ordered as soon as I received the e-mail a couple of days ago?  Probably to compensate for not yet receiving my poppy despite my next door neighbour and her friend a couple of streets away receiving theirs.  My neighbour said she ordered hers quite late too.

my friend ordered 1 poppy months ago, he got his in time for Christmas - his friend ordered three before him and still hadn't received them by Christmas - they he discovered someone else who had ordered more than one and they all came in the same box - goodness knows how you'd present them if they were gifts intended for individuals, as they didn't have their own presentation boxes!

After initiating this thread 29 Dec, I finally have one of my two wills available to "Down load Grant and Will" and it was easy peasy. Now all smiles I wait a lot more happier for the other one to be available.
Thank you for everyone's replies.
And a big thank you to Gov.uk (will send a thank you via their feed back once I get the other copy), for this new service specially for those here in NZ.

Hi Tracey

Thanks for letting us know.

Hope the will contains lots of useful genealogical information.
